I am available on weekdays and evenings for face to face and online sessions.

Hi, I’m Hazel, thanks for looking at my page. I understand that the choice of profiles on here can feel overwhelming so I want to give you a sense of who I am and how I can help. After an unusual and difficult childhood, I often felt anxious, scared and at odds with the world.

As an adult, I came to counselling circuitously after a series of unfulfilling jobs and false starts whilst raising two boys as a single mother. I am friendly, down to earth, a little odd and alternative which helps me to recognise how each of us sees and experiences the world differently.

Although I am trained as an Integrative counsellor, I am naturally Person-Centered; coming from a Humanistic approach which is non-diagnostic, I value each person as an individual without preconception and see every relationship as unique, without judgement. I have a personal interest in neurodiversity, alternative lifestyles and belief systems, and have enjoyed consistently positive outcomes with those who have not had good experiences of therapy in the past.

Sometimes it can be difficult to ask for help, especially when we don't know exactly what it is that we need help with, but I believe that the opportunity to talk openly, to be listened to and truly heard, is a wonderful thing which should be available to everyone.

Through perceptive questioning and compassionate challenge, I will help you to find your clarity, connect the dots and put a voice to what is troubling you. 

Should you get in touch, I will contact you by phone or email to arrange a free 15-minute chat to assess how I could help and answer any questions about how we can work together. Equally, we could just arrange a booking and start work immediately. I have a warm and welcoming room in Houldsworth Mill in Reddish, easily accessible with ample parking.
