About Barbara
Barbara Harrison is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with relationship strain, anger, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and life changes. She also supports people facing career and motivation issues and those recovering from trauma and abuse.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. She focuses on clear goals and practical steps rather than jargon. Sessions often include reflective talk, noticing patterns in relationships, and learning ways to reduce reactivity and manage stressful moments.
Barbara uses a mix of methods to suit the person in front of her. She draws on client-centred listening to understand what matters most to the client. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns that affect current relationships and feelings.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to train attention and reduce agitation. Trauma-focused work is available for those who need targeted support after difficult events. Imago relationship ideas are used when people want to improve communication and connection with a partner.
She has experience in coaching for careers and management, and applies coaching tools when clients want practical action plans. Sessions are aimed at helping people notice triggers, practise different responses, and rehearse new ways of relating. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How therapy approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. Online sessions using this approach involve reflective conversation, clarifying what matters, and setting practical goals. It can help with anger that comes from feeling unheard or dismissed.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills and short practices to reduce reactivity. In an online meeting this can mean brief guided exercises, noticing bodily signs of tension, and rehearsing calmer responses to triggers. It is useful for stress, sleep problems and managing sudden bursts of anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree on methods that fit the person's needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow practising new responses in everyday settings, making small changes more likely to stick.
