Gareth Harris

Gareth Harris is a practising counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience. He lists stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes among the main issues he supports. Gareth also notes additional focus areas such as abandonment, communication problems and difficulties connected to autism.

Gareth works from a psychodynamic perspective, drawing on what comes up in conversation to help people understand recurring patterns. He asks questions to deepen understanding and encourages reflection about past and present experiences that shape current feelings. Sessions are straightforward talk therapy where observations and questions are used to clarify what matters to the client.

His background includes a master's in psychodynamic psychotherapy from the University of Essex and shorter courses related to children's well-being and autism. He also volunteers with the Road Victims Trust, providing counselling for people coping with grief and trauma. That experience informs his approach to complex loss and related difficulties.

In sessions he aims to help people open up and make sense of emotional states that feel stuck or confusing. Practical topics such as communication problems, commitment worries and control issues are tackled through conversation and reflection rather than prescriptive advice.

Gareth accepts international clients and works in English. He uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first appointment through the site.

Approaches Gareth Uses and how online work fits

Gareth trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, which focuses on how past relationships and experiences shape current feelings. In practice this means talking about recurring patterns, memories and emotions to make them clearer and less baffling. This approach can be helpful for long-standing relationship issues, grief reactions and repeated ways of coping.

He has also undertaken shorter courses related to children's well-being and autism, which can inform how he notices differences in communication and sensory or social needs. That background can make him more attuned to clients who mention autism or communication challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gareth will discuss methods and options with each person and decide together what to try first, based on the individual's goals and preferences. He views this as a collaborative process rather than a fixed programme.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around busy lives and reducing travel time. Online appointments can make it easier to have a shorter check-in when needed, or to meet without leaving work during a lunch break. The original profile does not list exact session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. In general, therapists and registered or accredited professionals use online sessions to help people manage stress, grief, relationship strains and life changes while keeping therapy manageable alongside everyday commitments.
