Thomas Hazell, BACP

Thomas Hazell offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and tricky life changes. He also helps with relationship strain, issues around self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, and concerns linked to work and money. Thomas works with LGBT clients and those dealing with anger, career uncertainty and coping after separation. He is listed for Supporting carers and can help carers talk through the stress that comes with caring roles.

Thomas uses straightforward, person-focused work in sessions. He listens first and helps people name what matters to them. Conversations are practical and meant to make day-to-day coping feel easier. Sessions centre on the client’s goals rather than on rigid techniques.

His practice draws on client-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and longer-term psychodynamic thinking. He also uses short-term, solution-focused conversations when people want clear steps to try between sessions. These methods are adapted to each person’s situation and preferences.

Thomas has four years’ experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He works from the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. If you are weighing up therapy, he asks people to start with a short matching questionnaire to help decide if his style fits.

How Thomas uses different therapeutic approaches online

Thomas draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused conversations to shape online sessions. Client-centred therapy means the session is led by what the person needs most and the counsellor listens deeply to understand their experience. This approach suits people who want space to speak and be heard without pressure.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and tests small changes in everyday life. It can help with anxiety, mood difficulties and coping with stress by giving clear steps to try between sessions. Solution-focused work is brief and goal-oriented, aiming to identify small, practical actions that move things in a different direction quickly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Thomas will help clients decide which mix of methods fits their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can shift as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and caring duties and avoiding travel time.
