Fiona Hazelden, BACP

Fiona Hazelden offers calm, practical support for people coping with jealousy, anxiety and life changes. She writes in a straightforward way and helps clients talk through what is worrying them. Fiona aims to make the first steps feel manageable, and she encourages small, steady progress rather than sudden fixes.

She has 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. Fiona focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self esteem and depression. She also works with concerns such as addictions, intimacy-related issues, relationship struggles, eating and sleeping problems, and ADHD-related challenges.

In sessions she adapts the conversation to each person’s situation and goals. Fiona explains ideas simply and uses practical ways to help people manage strong feelings and difficult memories. She will listen first, then agree a plan together that fits what the client wants to change.

Fiona also supports people facing complex background issues like adoption and foster care, attachment or dissociation, chronic illness and caregiver stress. She pays attention to how past experiences shape present behaviour and relationships. The work often combines exploring patterns with learning new ways to respond.

Clients can expect a respectful, compassionate approach that values small steps and realistic goals. Fiona highlights clear, doable strategies alongside talking through painful experiences. She encourages clients to build skills they can use between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Fiona draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage difficult emotions and relational problems. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practising alternative responses; this helps with anxiety, low mood and jealousy by giving people clearer ways to test and reframe worries. Another approach looks at how past relationships shape present behaviour, using paced conversations to notice patterns and try new ways of relating; this can support people with attachment issues, abandonment concerns and intimacy-related difficulties.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Fiona will collaborate with each person to choose which methods feel most useful. She checks in about goals and adjusts the plan as progress is made, so the work remains practical and relevant to day-to-day life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking because specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to access a therapist who is based elsewhere in the United Kingdom or internationally, while still working together on clear, achievable goals.
