About Erika

Erika Harding works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns using a blend of client-centred, solution-focused and cognitive behavioural approaches. She is a BACP member and has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Erika focuses on clear, practical conversations. She helps people talk through difficult feelings after loss, cope with life changes, and manage day-to-day anxiety. Sessions aim to identify what is most pressing and create small, achievable steps to make things more manageable.

Her work often addresses intimacy-related issues, communication problems and career-related stress. She also supports people facing end-of-life matters, hospice situations, first responder pressures, and the effects of forgiveness or self-love struggles. Discussions can cover how thoughts, behaviours and choices interact in daily life.

Erika uses elements of client-centred counselling to listen and reflect what matters most to the person in front of her. She draws on solution-focused methods to set concrete short-term goals, and cognitive behavioural ideas to try practical ways of changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with a focus on immediate concerns and workable strategies. People are encouraged to bring current problems and together agree on next steps, reviews and adjustments as progress is made.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the individual, helping them to clarify feelings and priorities. This approach supports people who need space to talk through grief, relationship issues or low self-esteem.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises to try between sessions. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.

Solution-focused therapy concentrates on setting small, achievable goals and building on existing strengths to make immediate improvements in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Erika will discuss options with the client and agree a way of working based on their goals, preferences and what feels helpful. The decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online counselling should be checked before booking since session formats are not specified in the biography. Confirm which formats are offered when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day.
