About Barbara

Barbara Harrison is a BACP-registered therapist with five years of clinical experience, licensed to practise in the United Kingdom. She combines therapeutic skill and coaching experience to support people facing relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, work and career difficulties, low self-esteem, anxiety, stress, and life transitions. She also works with couples and other relationship dynamics and offers management, career, and wellbeing coaching to help clients clarify goals and move forward.

Barbara approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each individual’s needs and circumstances. Her background includes work with issues such as intimacy-related concerns, family problems, anger, sleeping difficulties, and compassion fatigue, as well as more specific areas like attachment and abandonment, codependency, and bereavement support.

As a practitioner, Barbara emphasizes a collaborative process that honours the courage it takes to seek change. She aims to create a tailored path toward greater confidence, clearer communication, and improved coping, drawing on both therapeutic and coaching methods to support practical progress and personal growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client's own goals guide the work. It helps with self-esteem, decision-making, life transitions, and building confidence through empathetic listening and collaboration. Imago Relationship Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence present-day connections and helps couples improve communication, deepen understanding, and repair intimacy-related difficulties. Trauma-Focused Therapy provides structured ways to address traumatic experiences, reduce their ongoing impact, and develop safer coping strategies for symptoms linked to past harm.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Barbara works collaboratively with each person or couple to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing work to continue around busy schedules, from different locations, and in formats that suit individual comfort levels. This range of options makes it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support when it is most needed.
