Hazel North

Hello my name is Hazel and I am a skilled and very experienced counsellor who has  been practising  in West Dorset for fourteen years. I provide safe, effective, professional support on a 1:1 basis for a whole range of issues including depression, anxiety, relationships - both personal and work related, self esteem, family issues, stress, anger management, abuse and trauma( and many others too). I AM NOW OFFERING ONLINE WORK VIA ZOOM .   My clients find me friendly, easy to talk to, non judgmental and empathic. I work both with adults of all ages and with young people. I am a humanistic integrative counsellor which means I work with you to provide a 'bespoke' service which will best promote your wellbeing and support you to make changes. I provide a strong therapeutic relationship to empower you to make lasting changes. I offer long and short term work depending on your particular needs and appointments are available during the day or in the evening. As well as my private practice I have worked for 9 years as a volunteer counsellor for a local charity and have extensive experience working as a schools counsellor. I also deliver training courses to adults on counselling and mental health and have a particular interest in supporting trainees. I originally trained as a counsellor to further support my previous career as a specialist dyslexia teacher of young people and I have a good working knowledge of a range of learning difficulties. I am happy to offer a free 30 minute introductory session via Zoom  to new clients to discuss how counselling works , how I may be able to help and to answer any questions and queries.  Please contact me via BACP e mail and I will get back to you very quickly!
