About Barbara
Barbara Harrison is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, career challenges, stress and anxiety, sleep problems and anger.
She takes a straightforward approach in sessions. Conversations focus on the problems you bring and practical steps you can try between meetings. She also offers coaching for career and management concerns alongside therapeutic work so clients can address both emotional and practical goals.
Her practice draws on a mix of approaches. Client-Centred Therapy guides the pace and tone of sessions, while Psychodynamic and Trauma-Focused methods are used when it helps to look at patterns from the past. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help with stress, sleep and emotional regulation.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Barbara helps clients identify what they want to change, then works collaboratively on small experiments and coping strategies. She also supports people with intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue and the particular stresses of caregiving and end-of-life concerns.
People come for help with commitment worries, attachment questions, codependency and communication problems. She is experienced in issues linked to abandonment, dissociation, and the needs of those on the autism spectrum. Sessions are held in English and international clients are accepted. Please confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy is about following the client's lead and building a respectful therapeutic relationship. Online sessions use that same focus, letting the client set the pace and priorities. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple breathing and grounding exercises to help with stress, sleep and anger management; these can be practised during or between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at the impact of distressing events and supports safer ways to process difficult memories and reactions.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. That collaborative process helps match practical tools to everyday problems like workplace frustration, snapping at loved ones, or simmering resentment.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Many people choose online sessions for practical reasons - fitting an appointment into a workday, checking in between meetings, or using video when a visual connection helps. Others prefer shorter phone check-ins or sessions that place less demand on bandwidth. Discussing these practicalities at the first appointment helps make sessions fit into daily life.
