Hazel Bailey

I work around the needs of my clients wherever possible, busy lives often mean therapy can't be fitted in - I offer some evening and weekend appointments via phone or online.

Sometimes life leaves us carrying things we never expected. 

Trauma, anxiety, betrayal, relationship difficulties, childhood experiences or struggles around faith can affect how we think, feel and connect with others. Therapy can give you a safe, confidential space to make sense of what you’ve experienced and begin moving forward.

I work with both men and women experiencing difficulties including trauma, childhood trauma, anxiety, relationship problems, infidelity and betrayal, low self-esteem, emotional overwhelm, trust issues and difficulties with relationships.

I also have a particular interest in religious trauma and the impact that difficult experiences within faith communities, belief systems or spiritual environments can have on your identity, relationships and wellbeing. You can talk openly without fear of judgement, whether you are questioning your beliefs, struggling with your faith or choosing a different path.

If you’ve experienced infidelity, whether you have been betrayed or have been unfaithful yourself, therapy can offer a space to explore what happened honestly and without shame or condemnation.

NHS workers: I offer discounted therapy sessions as a small way of recognising the pressures and demands of the work you do.

Taking the first step can feel daunting, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. If you’re ready for change, I’m here to listen.

I offer therapy online and by telephone, allowing you to access support from the comfort and privacy of your own home. For those experiencing anxiety, this can remove the stress of travelling, parking, waiting rooms or being seen entering a therapy practice. You can settle into your own space, perhaps with a cup of tea, and talk somewhere you feel safe and comfortable.

I believe therapy should be collaborative and tailored to you. You don’t need to have everything figured out or even know exactly where to begin. Together, we can explore what you’re experiencing, understand the patterns that may be holding you back, and work towards healthier ways of coping and relating.

I prefer to offer a fifteen minute free call with you to discuss what you need and how you would like to work.  This enables you to then decide if I am the right therapist for you - and this is important.  The professional relationship we build will have trust and respect at its core and I want you to feel comfortable. There is no pressure from me after the call.

I work to fit the needs of my clients where possible - therefore I have some evening and weekend session availability.

I work in a person centred practice which puts you and your needs foremost.  I am here to support, enable and provide you with a safe and non judgmental space to talk and be heard.

If you had a broken arm, you wouldn't wait a year to get it looked at and this is a thought I hold close.  We often let ourselves get too near burnout before making that first step into therapy.  You don't need a big event to go to therapy, it can help you to keep on an even keel and have a safe safe to just talk.

I offer online and phone therapy.  My counselling skills and training have shown me that often clients prefer being able to make a cup of tea, settle themselves down and not have to worry about rushing to an appointment, finding somewhere to park etc.  

Online and phone therapy works in the same way as face to face - same length of session, same way of working, buy from the comfort of your own home.

15 minute free initial call to ensure we are a good match for each other.  I will outline how I work, ascertain what you want from therapy and take it from there.

I work flexible hours to ensure clients who need evening or weekend appointments can book them in advance; this works really well for those who are working or have children at home.  Message me for information and availability.

You don't have to be in crisis to come to counselling. Sometimes 'I'm not quite myself lately' is reason enough.

Maybe nothing terrible has happened, maybe you are just tired of feeling like this. That in itself is a reason to start therapy.

Still functioning doesn't mean you are okay.  Going to work, looking after everyone else and getting through he day can hide how difficult things have become.

Counselling with me is not about me telling you what to do, it's a safe space where you don't have to look after anybody else, explain yourself or pretend.

Anxiety, loss, relationships, stress, confidence, feeling stuck - all are part of you knowing that something has to change.

Many of us have carried things around with us for many years always pushing thoughts down and telling ourselves to get over it.  Talking therapy with a qualified therapist can be the key to unlocking thoughts and feelings that you don't want to carry any more.

Introductory fifteen minute call to ensure you are comfortable with engaging in therapy with me.

I try to find session times that work for my clients - this enables those will day time responsibilities to book sessions in the evening or at weekends. Please email me for information on my availability.

Sometimes things get too much; we feel not ourselves, we feel stressed or have thoughts we can't shake.  We tell ourselves to get over it because nothing major has happened and yet, we don't feel better.

Don't wait until things get too much, you wouldn't wait a year if you have a broken wrist to get checked out so why when your mental health isn't feeling as you'd like it to would you wait?

I offer short and longer term therapy to those over eighteen who need support on trauma, childhood abuse, anxiety, intimacy, betrayal and infidelity, couples, loneliness, lack of direction, menopause and for those leaving high control situations.

Therapy really does help...

I offer non judgmental support to men and women via phone or online.  As a registered Â鶹ԭ´´ counsellor I follow their ethics and provide you with a person centred therapeutic relationship with you are the core.

I feel strongly about supporting those who support others and offer discounted sessions for University students, NHS workers and Veterans.

Initial call of fifteen minutes to discuss your needs and how I can support you.
