About Gareth Harris

Gareth Harris is a practising counsellor who completed a masters in psychodynamic psychotherapy at the University of Essex and has also undertaken shorter courses covering areas such as children’s well-being and autism. He draws on this training to explore how past experiences and present feelings connect, helping clients to gain clearer insight into recurring patterns and emotional responses.

In sessions he offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about how they are feeling. He may ask questions to deepen understanding and to support clients in exploring difficult material. The aim of this work is to help people open up, build self-understanding and find ways to feel more empowered in their day-to-day lives.

Gareth also volunteers with the Road Victims Trust, supporting people dealing with grief, trauma and related issues that often intersect with other challenges. He is registered with the BACP, which is the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Gareth welcomes clients who want practical support alongside reflective therapeutic work and appreciates the courage it takes to seek help.
