Lydia Hazell

Currently, I have some availability on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Please get in touch  

I work with Adults (18+). I offer concessionary rates for Students.  

I offer In Person & Online appointments to suit you.

I am an Accredited Counsellor with over 10 years’ experience of working with a wide range of presenting issues. I have Postgraduate Diploma in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling; Level One Certificate in Emotion-Focused Therapy & a BA Honours in Counselling Studies. I have worked in the Prison Service, Education sector and for numerous local authorities throughout my career.

My counselling approach offers an open, honest & accessible space to explore, reflect and talk about personal and emotional difficulties that may be worrying, or impacting on you in your daily life. I will offer you a therapeutic relationship where you will be met with warmth, honesty and a genuine commitment to understanding you. We will work together to explore your difficulties and I will support you in facilitating meaningful change.

At the heart of counselling is the relationship between you and the Counsellor, and so it’s important you like and trust that individual so you can get the best support in your sessions with them. The basis of my work is rooted in the Person-Centred approach, and I have incorporated the all of my experience and training to broaden my framework and support you, the client, in the most optimal way - ensuring that you are at the centre of the work we do together, and my response is tailored to you.  

At our first session, we will talk about your reasons for contacting me and what you are looking for in Counselling. We will contract the frequency and duration of our work together.

There will be plenty of opportunity here, and at any point, for you to ask me questions about how I work and my theoretical approach.
