About Hazel
Hazel Vernon helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss, or low self-esteem. She speaks plainly and offers steady support for those trying to make changes. Hazel's style aims to make it easier to talk about difficult things and to find practical steps forward.
With 20 years of work in the United Kingdom Hazel uses her BACP registration to guide her practice. She focuses on everyday concerns such as depression, sleep problems, relationship and intimacy issues, and parenting strain.
Background and approach
She also supports people managing health challenges, chronic pain, cancer, and work-related compassion fatigue. Hazel offers help for a wide range of life experiences, including grief and loss, career changes, anger, and coping after trauma and abuse. She works with people navigating blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, attachment difficulties, and communication problems.
Her approach pays attention to the facts of a person’s life as well as their feelings. In sessions Hazel aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about honestly. She listens for what matters most and helps set manageable goals.
Together she and the person identify practical steps to try between meetings. People meet Hazel for short-term coaching-style work or longer conversation-focused counselling depending on need. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hazel will discuss different methods and tailor the plan to a person's goals, needs and preferences. She treats the process as a collaboration and checks in regularly to adapt what they try together.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option and live chat or text-based messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer typing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health demands while maintaining regular contact with a registered professional.
