About Murray

Murray Harvey is a UK-based psychotherapist who combines formal training with lived experience to support people facing anxiety, stress and life transitions. He trained in counselling at university and completed a master’s degree in psychology, and he maintains professional membership with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He also holds full adult and child DBS checks and professional insurance, reflecting his focus on ethical, responsible practice.

Murray speaks from personal experience of panic attacks, anxiety, depression, addiction and suicidal thoughts, and he is currently exploring a possible ADHD diagnosis for himself. That perspective informs his understanding of suffering and fuels his commitment to helping others navigate similar challenges. He works pluralistically, drawing on different theories and techniques to meet each person’s unique needs rather than following one fixed approach.

As a general psychotherapist he is comfortable working with many presentations - including family issues, self-esteem concerns, bipolar mood challenges and difficulties around attachment and abandonment. He aims to be honest, straightforward and pragmatic in sessions, communicating openly about the work and adjusting his approach when necessary. Outside of practice he enjoys music, walking his dog and ongoing study of human behaviour, and he welcomes contact from people who want to explore whether they could work together.

Approaches and online support for everyday difficulties

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings of safety and connection. It helps people explore patterns around abandonment, intimacy and family dynamics to improve how they relate to others. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-directive stance - the therapist listens attentively, validates the person's experience and follows their lead to build trust and self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can support coping with anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems.

Murray approaches treatment collaboratively - finding the right method is part of the work together. He will discuss goals, preferences and the challenges someone brings, and tailor sessions by combining approaches so the therapy fits the individual's needs rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to access care around work, caregiving and travel constraints. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, let people choose the style of contact that feels most comfortable, and support continuity of care through life changes when in-person meetings are difficult for any reason. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these tools to create a therapeutic relationship that suits each person's pace and practical circumstances.
