Gareth Harris, BACP

Gareth Harris is a practising counsellor who brings a thoughtful, client-centred approach to work with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes. He completed a masters in psychodynamic psychotherapy at the University of Essex, a postgraduate qualification that focuses on exploring how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape current feelings and relationships. He also holds a BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which indicates alignment with national professional standards. Gareth has completed shorter courses covering children’s well-being and autism, which inform his sensitivity to neurodiversity and developmental concerns.

In sessions he aims to provide a supportive space where people can discuss how they feel while he asks questions to better understand their experience. His intent is to help clients uncover patterns, gain clearer self-understanding, and build greater personal agency. Gareth also volunteers as a counsellor with the Road Victims Trust, supporting people living with grief, trauma and related, interconnecting issues. He works with adults across a range of concerns and is open to international clients, offering flexible ways to connect that suit different needs and circumstances.
