About Gareth

Gareth Harris works on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and coping with life changes using psychodynamic psychotherapy as his main approach. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of practice experience.

He trained at the University of Essex, completing a master's in psychodynamic psychotherapy. He has also done shorter courses covering children's well-being and autism. Gareth uses talking and thoughtful questioning to help people make sense of difficult feelings and patterns.

Sessions are conversational and reflective. He may ask questions to better understand each person's history and experience. The focus is on helping people open up and gain clearer self-understanding so they can manage problems differently.

Gareth volunteers with the Road Victims Trust, supporting people who are coping with grief, trauma and related issues. That work informs his practice and understanding of overlapping difficulties.

He welcomes people concerned about abandonment, communication problems, commitment issues, dissociation, eating and food-related issues, domestic violence, and other listed areas. He also notes work relevant to autism and Asperger syndrome, first responder issues and cancer-related concerns.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary with location. To begin, select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Gareth's primary method is psychodynamic psychotherapy. This approach looks at feelings, past experiences and recurring patterns to help people understand why they react a certain way. It can be useful for relationship issues, grief, trauma and long-standing emotional difficulties.

He has also completed shorter courses in areas such as children's well-being and autism, which inform how he asks questions and responds to neurodiverse presentations. That background helps him notice developmental factors and sensory or social differences that shape someone's experience.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gareth will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods fit their goals and preferences. The counsellor treats this as a collaborative process and may adapt his style as the work unfolds.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting counselling around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or regular appointments around busy days. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to ensure the arrangements suit everyday life.
