About Barbara
Barbara Harrison helps people facing relationship strain, anxiety, low self-esteem and major life changes. She supports those coping with trauma, grief, career difficulties, stress and compassion fatigue. Her work also covers intimacy-related problems, sleep troubles, anger and a wide range of family-related concerns.
Barbara works in a direct, respectful way. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs. She aims to make sessions practical and easy to follow so people can try things between meetings.
Background and approach
The tone is calm and focused on small, achievable steps. Her approach draws on several well-known methods. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work.
Mindfulness practices help people notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed. Trauma-Focused and Psychodynamic ideas are used where past events or patterns are getting in the way of current life. Barbara holds BACP accreditation, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
She has five years of professional experience working with adults across many concerns. She also uses coaching skills for career and wellbeing conversations. Sessions aim to be collaborative.
Barbara sets goals together with each person and checks progress over time. She will adapt the plan as needs change and help people find practical ways to feel steadier and more confident.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Barbara will discuss different methods and choose what fits a person’s needs, goals and preferences. This decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief reflections, coaching-style check-ins or people who prefer to write. These options help fit therapy around work, caring duties and life commitments, making it easier to keep momentum between sessions.
