About 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.
I provide a compassionate, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your feelings, gain insight into your relational dynamics, and deepen your understanding of yourself. Rooted in the present, my approach is relational and holistic. Together, we can explore whatever you bring — whether it’s rooted in the past, present, or future — paying close attention to what arises in the here and now as we do.
My experience spans a wide range of issues, including PMDD, fertility, birth trauma, complex trauma (including PTSD and CPTSD), anxiety, anger, depression, self-esteem, stress, bereavement and loss, health-related issues and chronic illness, life transitions, relationships, experiences of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, domestic violence, displacement, self-harm, substance misuse and addition, and sexual identity, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.
I am registered with the UKCP and BACP and follow their ethical principles and professional code of conduct. I also hold full professional indemnity insurance and an enhanced DBS certificate.
