About Thomas
Counsellor Thomas Hazell is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years' experience. He works with people in the United Kingdom on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, LGBT issues and self‑esteem. Thomas also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, anger, career worries and coping with life changes.
He uses a person‑centred way of working. That means he listens without judgement and helps people speak about what matters to them. Sessions focus on the client’s experience and what they want to change.
Thomas also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to look at thought patterns and practical ways to manage difficult feelings. He may use psychodynamic ideas to notice how past experiences shape current reactions. Solution‑focused techniques can be used to set short‑term goals and spot what is already working.
Sessions are conversational and aim to be straightforward. Thomas asks questions, reflects what he hears and works with clients to try different ways of approaching problems. The pace is set by the person attending, and he checks in about what is helpful.
He is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his approaches work in online counselling
Thomas uses person‑centred work to make space for what the client wants to talk about. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting and following the person’s lead so they can say what matters most.He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and suggests practical steps to reduce symptoms of anxiety or low mood. Solution‑focused work may be used to set small, concrete goals and notice improvements over a few sessions.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will discuss goals and preferences with each person and agree together which methods to try. This is a collaborative decision that can change as therapy progresses.
The practical benefits of online work make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Online sessions can save travel time, allow quicker check‑ins and make it simpler to arrange appointments around work or family commitments.
