Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Supervisor, Gestalt, Integrative, Aviva, AXAAbout Me – Hazel Cawood (she/her)

I am a fully qualified and accredited Gestalt Psychotherapist, Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, and Supervisor, offering online therapy for individuals, couples, and groups. With over thirteen years of clinical experience, I’ve had the privilege of working in a variety of settings, including schools, charities, and private practice, supporting young people (10+) and adults.

At the heart of Gestalt practice is a holistic understanding that we are shaped by our relationships and environment. It holds an optimistic view: that we all have an innate capacity for growth, balance, and wholeness.

And so, rather than offering rigid techniques or ready-made solutions, I offer a warm, holding space where we bring gentle, moment-to-moment awareness to your thoughts, emotions, and sensations. Working relationally and staying grounded in the present, together we can explore whatever you bring – whether it’s from the past, present, or future – paying close attention to what arises in the here and now as we do. This can allow us to deepen our understanding of how your current patterns may have formed, gain insight into your relational dynamics, and deepen your understanding of yourself – both internally and in the world around you – opening the door to greater awareness, personal growth, and meaningful change.

I have 13 years of clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns, including emotional and mental health challenges including depression, anxiety, OCD, substance use; hormonal and reproductive health such as PMDD, fertility, peri- and post-natal mental health; and trauma, including PTSD, CPTSD, birth trauma, relational and identity trauma, sexual and relational abuse, and childhood sexual abuse (CSA). I support people navigating identity and difference including gender, sexual and relationship diversity (GSRD), high sensitivity (HSP), and neurodivergence, displacement, migration, as well as those facing health challenges, life transitions, or relationship difficulties.

I am UKCP accredited and BACP registered, and adhere to their ethical principles and professional codes of conduct. I also hold full professional indemnity insurance and an enhanced DBS certificate.
