About Hazel Brygider
I started my career and training in CBT and mental health in 2006 at the Priory Hospital Bristol, working both on the eating disorder unit and the acute mental health unit, offering group work and individual therapy.
I joined the NHS in 2012 and have completed further training in CBT to become a fully accredited member of the BABCP (British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies).
I am passionate about treating PTSD and trauma and have developed a special interest and strong skill set in this area. I have been amazed by the power of EMDR in treating trauma, and it’s ability to process memories and emotions and change beliefs at a profound and fundamental level.
My current role consists of treating clients with PTSD and trauma, OCD, social anxiety, health anxiety, generalised anxiety and worry, panic, phobias, eating disorders, low self-esteem, depression and post-natal depression.
I also provide CBT supervision for trainee therapists and accredited practitioners.

I adhere to the codes and ethics of the BABCP (British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies) and I regularly attend training events to enhance my skills as a CBT and EMDR therapist as part of my accreditation and ongoing professional development.
I have regular supervision sessions with a BABCP accredited supervisor and an EMDR Consultant.
I am BUPA registered.
