Hazel Anderson-Turner
A Business & Coaching Psychologist specialising in resilient leadership and burnout prevention. Working in partnership with clients, she supports them to define the desired future, explore the root causes of their challenges and facilitate sustainable and meaningful change.
Hazel combines healthy challenge, with a sense of fun and inquisitiveness. She works well with hard working, values driven individuals and groups who struggle to find time to focus on themselves.
Hazel is a highly experienced coach and a pioneer of the application of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) within coaching. The integration of ACT within the coaching relationship enables Hazel’s clients to build greater psychological flexibility, enabling them to respond confidently and skilfully to the challenges they face.
Whilst Hazel works across a range of industries, her proudest achievement is leading a team of coaches providing resilience coaching for the NHS through the Covid pandemic.
Existential psychology and The 8 Tensions have integrated beautifully with Hazel’s primary coaching approach, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. Her coaching approach is heavily focused on values, supporting clients to notice the choices they have and to use these values to create a life they really want to live. The focus on personal choice, exploring philosophical questions and creating meaning from The 8 Tensions compliments values-based coaching and provides a framework to both normalise and explore the challenges that Hazel’s clients face.
