Mr Nic Hazell

Clinical Psychologist

At the core of my approach is relationship built on trust, and with this in mind, I aim to provide a safe place in which my clients can feel supported and understood.

About Me

I have always been fascinated by the complex factors that make us who we are. Sometimes this means asking questions about why we struggle at times, how suffering might be alleviated, relationships improved, destructive patterns altered, and how general happiness, fulfilment and peace of mind can be achieved. I am inspired, not only by my work, but also by the evolving theory that informs it. I therefore strive to continually develop my skills and hone my craft.
