About Ray
Ray Hazen works from an evidence-based approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, anger and depression. He is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings 18 years of professional experience to his practice. Ray names clients as experts in their own stories and focuses on practical steps forward.
He uses straightforward conversation to identify what is getting in the way. Sessions aim to build on strengths and develop clearer coping strategies.
Background and approach
Ray breaks problems down into manageable goals so progress feels possible day to day. His background includes long-term work with people affected by trauma and abuse, and those struggling with substance and process addictions. He also supports people dealing with chronic pain, mood disorders and anger control, and those affected by domestic violence and related safety concerns.
Ray has experience with occupational stress for emergency workers and issues faced by veterans and armed forces personnel. He is familiar with personality-related patterns such as dependency, codependency, narcissism and antisocial traits and how these affect relationships and wellbeing. Sessions are available in English and delivered online through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that suit their needs. Ray aims to make starting therapy a clear, manageable process. He works alongside each person to set aims and track what changes help in everyday life.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ray works collaboratively to agree what to try first, checks in on what is and isn’t helping, and adjusts the plan as goals evolve. The aim is to match methods to each person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and work in a conversational way. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer to write, need brief check-ins during the week, or want to fit sessions around work and family commitments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into everyday life.
