About Gareth
Gareth Harris is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has three years' experience. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes, and lists young adult issues among his focus areas.
Gareth trained at the University of Essex, completing a master's in psychodynamic psychotherapy. He also took shorter courses on children's well-being and autism. He combines that background with practical conversation in sessions to help people understand what they are feeling.
In sessions Gareth listens and asks questions to build a clearer picture of someone's experience. He aims to help people open up and develop clearer self-understanding. Sessions are described in everyday terms rather than medical language.
He volunteers with the Road Victims Trust, supporting people who are processing grief, trauma and related problems. That work informs his approach and keeps his practice grounded in real-world experience.
Gareth works in English and accepts international clients. He uses a subscription-based session model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the online booking flow.
Therapeutic approaches used and how online sessions work
Gareth trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, which focuses on understanding how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape current feelings and relationships. That approach is often useful for people dealing with grief, relationship difficulties and long-standing emotional patterns.He also draws on other evidence-based therapeutic techniques learned through shorter courses, for example approaches that help with autism-related needs and children's wellbeing. Those techniques tend to be practical and aim to make conversation clearer and more manageable for someone struggling with communication, emptiness or dissociation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gareth will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods fit best. This is a collaborative process and may be adjusted as the work continues.
