About Thomas
Thomas Hazell is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years' experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, grief, self-esteem and related problems. Sessions are conducted in English from the United Kingdom.
Thomas uses a person-centred outlook that encourages people to talk through what matters to them. He aims to listen without judgement and to help clients make sense of their feelings. The first meeting is often about understanding immediate concerns and what a person hopes to change.
Alongside client-centred practice, he draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to look at how thoughts and behaviours link with mood and actions. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to consider past patterns that turn up in present life. Solution-focused techniques may be used to set short-term, practical goals.
People come to him with a wide mix of issues beyond the headline areas. These include blended family pressures, caregiver stress, commitment and control worries, separation and divorce, and difficulties around fatherhood. He also supports those coping with guilt, shame, infidelity, domestic violence impacts, and financial stress affecting mood.
Thomas describes therapy as a collaborative process. He works at a steady pace and helps people try out different ways to respond to anger and stress. He encourages clear, manageable steps so that changes can be noticed between sessions.
How his approaches work in online sessions
Thomas combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural therapy in online sessions. Person-centred work means the counsellor listens and reflects so people can say what matters and feel understood. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and offers practical experiments to try different responses to anger or anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Thomas will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and agree on methods together. That collaborative decision helps shape sessions so they focus on immediate coping and longer-term patterns as needed.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, avoid travel, or choose shorter check-ins when time is tight. It also allows people to use quieter surroundings or turn off a camera if that helps them concentrate. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and goal-setting to suit each person's day-to-day life.
