About Barbara
Barbara Harrison is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress and relationship strain. She works with clients on self-esteem, career concerns, grief and major life changes. Her approach is warm and respectful, and she aims to create a straightforward space to talk and think things through.
Barbara uses listening and practical conversation to discover what matters most to each person. She adapts sessions to a client’s needs, combining coaching ideas with therapeutic reflection.
Background and approach
That can mean short-term practical coaching around career decisions, or longer work on past hurts and attachment patterns. Clients can expect a calm, paced style that balances emotional exploration with clear goals. Barbara draws on mindfulness exercises to help with stress and sleep, and trauma-focused ways of working when past wounds are affecting daily life.
She also uses relationship tools when intimacy or communication are causing pain. With five years of professional experience, she has supported people through bereavement, domestic violence aftermath, and the confusion that follows separation. Barbara also brings knowledge of issues such as abandonment, codependency and dissociation into sessions when relevant.
Sessions are offered in English and Barbara is comfortable working with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. She combines therapeutic listening with coaching skills to help people move from feeling stuck to taking practical steps forward.

Online support
She also draws on trauma-focused techniques to work through the effects of past harm. These methods focus on stabilising feelings, reducing overwhelming reactions, and building coping strategies so memories and triggers feel more manageable in daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the first sessions. The therapist will work collaboratively with the person to test what feels useful and adjust methods as goals change. That means practical coaching tools may be used some weeks, while reflective or trauma-focused work is chosen in others.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, phone calls are a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging can support ongoing reflection between meetings. These choices make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and day-to-day life.
