Andrew Harris, BACP

Andrew Harris is a psychotherapeutic counsellor registered in the United Kingdom who brings a compassionate, collaborative approach to supporting people through difficult life experiences. He holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised professional credential in the UK, and has worked with clients presenting with bereavement, loss, anxiety, OCD, depression, low mood and adjustment to life changes. His practice also extends to relationship difficulties, stress, grief and a wide range of other concerns where talking therapy can help.

Andrew frames counselling as a meeting between two individuals - counsellor and client - aimed at exploring thoughts, feelings and behaviours connected to current struggles or ongoing difficulties. He believes strongly in the potential for therapy to create meaningful change, especially for those arriving feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious or bereft. Central to his work is the therapeutic relationship; he offers a welcoming, non-judgemental environment and seeks to work collaboratively to identify goals and pathways forward.

Anyone is welcome in Andrew’s practice, including people from majority and minority backgrounds. He tailors his approach to each person’s needs, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients process loss, manage anxiety and develop coping strategies for life transitions.

Evidence-Based Support and Online Therapy Options

Andrew uses focused bereavement work to help people process loss and navigate the complex emotions that follow. This approach creates space to explore grief, find meaning and gradually adapt to life after bereavement.

He also offers skills-based work for anxiety, OCD and low mood, teaching practical strategies to manage distress, reduce unhelpful patterns and improve day-to-day functioning. These techniques are adaptable to individual needs and aim to strengthen coping and resilience.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrew works collaboratively with each person to identify which techniques best suit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses so the work feels relevant and effective.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and circumstances. These options make it easier to access registered professionals and therapists from home or elsewhere, fitting therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs while maintaining continuity of support.
