Hello, I am Hazel North, a qualified and experienced BACP accredited counsellor offering online and face to face counselling to adults of all ages and young people. I have been a counsellor for fourteen years. I am based in Dorset between Weymouth and Dorchester but, as well as working with local clients , I work with people throughout the UK and with English speaking International clients. I provide safe, confidential and highly effective 1:1 counselling support for a whole range of issues including anxiety; relationships-both personal and professional; depression; stress; self-esteem; work place issues and trauma. My clients find me friendly, easy to talk to and passionately committed to improving their wellbeing. Counselling enables you to be listened to with non judgemental empathy and honesty and can be a powerful and life enhancing experience. Counselling changes lives.
'Within a few minutes of meeting Hazel for the first time I felt a surge of relief. Here is someone who is highly intelligent and empathic yet who also has the necessary strength to create a safe emotional space where you feel ready to challenge yourself. This has made it possible for me to face truths, I have wasted years avoiding ,which have fuelled my anxiety. When i accepted them not only did my anxiety abate, but in its place grew new faith in my ability to grow and change.' ZW May 2022 ( after 6 sessions)
'I couldn't have asked for a better series of counselling sessions. Having not experienced this type of therapy before I was a little apprehensive, but from the first meeting Hazel Made me feel at ease. Hazel got to know me well and showed real, understanding about the issues I was facing. Over the course of the sessions my self confidence grew and my anxiety reduced. I would recommend Hazel to anyone.' LH May 2022
'Hazel's support for me through such a difficult time has been second to none........ she gave me a safe space to talk freely and feel heard and reassured with my feelings. I am now in a much more positive place and I feel this would not have been possible without Hazel' RQ April 2022
'Simply put, Hazel helped me. From our very first session I found her easy to talk to. She allowed me to open up in a safe and comfortable way.... to give me the guidance and confidence to transform the way I think and feel about myself. I cannot thank Hazel enough and would recommend her counselling skills to those needing the time and space to talk things through when life has become difficult.' RW October 2020
’It’s been really useful to be able to talk to someone and it’s helped me to get a lot of things out. You have helped to validate how I feel. One of the massive things -validating how I feel and that it’s ok to feel like that. It’s made such a difference.’ JS September 2020'
