About Barbara
Barbara Harrison is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage anxiety, stress and relationship concerns. She uses a compassionate, respectful approach and aims to make conversations straightforward and practical. Barbara has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide her practice.
In sessions she keeps things tailored to each person. Conversations focus on what matters now - coping with life changes, grief, low self-esteem, sleep problems and workplace pressures.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with trauma, anger, depression and intimacy-related issues. Her background includes coaching for career and management matters as well as wellbeing coaching. Barbara draws on client-centred methods that put the person’s perspective first.
She combines this with mindfulness tools to help people notice and manage stress day to day. Where trauma is part of the picture she uses trauma-focused ideas to work through difficult memories at a pace that suits the client. Her style is practical and down-to-earth.
Sessions often include goal setting, simple exercises to try between meetings, and time to reflect on progress. She explains options and works with each person to choose techniques that feel useful. Barbara welcomes clients from different places and conducts sessions in English.
She aims to make the process clear and manageable, starting with a short questionnaire to match goals and preferences before scheduling sessions.
Practical approaches for online therapy and connection
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. Sessions concentrate on the client’s experience and priorities, helping them set goals and choose steps that feel right. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve sleep and focus. These tools can be used between sessions to manage anxiety and overwhelm. Trauma-Focused Therapy involves careful work on painful memories and reactions, paced to the person’s readiness and aimed at reducing the ways trauma interferes with daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options and help decide which methods suit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent touchpoints. Registered or accredited professionals can work with these formats to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit around work, travel or family life.
