About Adrian
Adrian Harris is an AASW counsellor with 15 years' experience helping people navigate anxiety, relationship strain and major life changes. He works with individuals and couples to reduce stress, manage grief, and improve connection. His approach is practical and direct, with an emphasis on building safety and emotional awareness.
Adrian focuses on everyday problems that weigh people down. He helps with relationship conflict, family tensions, parenting worries, body image and issues around intimacy and sexual diversity, including BDSM and kink.
Background and approach
He also supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, addiction, depression and self-esteem concerns. In sessions he uses clear, evidence-informed methods such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Conversations aim to identify patterns, try new ways of relating and build skills that help outside the therapy room.
Adrian keeps sessions straightforward and goal-focused so progress is measurable. He values cultural and emotional sensitivity and tailors work to each person's values and life story. Therapy plans are co-created with the person or couple, and adjusted as needs change.
Adrian describes the process as collaborative and paced to the client's readiness. People choose Adrian when they want practical strategies alongside deeper emotional work. He offers a calm, attentive presence and clear tools to manage anxiety, improve communication and repair attachment ruptures.
The goal is better day-to-day functioning and stronger relationships.
How Adrian’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful steps toward them. It helps when anxiety, avoidance or low motivation stop someone living the life they want. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and the ways early attachment shapes current bonds; it is useful for intimacy problems, abandonment concerns and relationship repair. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions in couple interactions and helps partners recognise and change hurtful cycles to rebuild connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adrian will discuss your goals and preferences, then adapt methods that fit your situation. The aim is a collaborative plan that blends skills, emotional work and practical tasks you can try between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions when visual cues matter. Phone can suit people with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are handy for brief check-ins, homework guidance or when you need flexible contact outside normal work hours. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy family and work commitments.
