About Murray Harvey
Murray Harvey is a United Kingdom based psychotherapist with three years of professional experience and a background in counselling and psychology. He completed undergraduate study in counselling and went on to earn a masters in psychology, and he is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Murray also holds full adult and child DBS checks and carries full professional insurance, reflecting his emphasis on ethical practice and client safety.
Murray speaks from both training and personal experience. He has lived with panic attacks, anxiety, depression, addiction and substance use, and has faced suicidal ideation. He also believes he may have ADHD and is actively addressing this. Those lived experiences inform his empathetic stance and give him insight into the distress many people face.
Trained in a pluralistic way, Murray draws from multiple therapeutic approaches to tailor sessions to each person’s needs rather than following a single method. He often works well with anxiety-based presentations and with male clients, and he describes himself as able to work with a broad range of psychological difficulties while remaining clear about his limits if a particular issue falls outside his scope.
Murray values honesty, directness and pragmatism in therapy. He is curious about human experience, interested in ongoing learning, and outside of work he enjoys music, walking his dog and studying how people navigate life events and change. His practice is shaped by a desire to understand clients' perspectives and to contribute positively to their lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Murray commonly works from client-centered, attachment-based and cognitive behavioral frameworks. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and respecting the client's own pace and goals, helping with issues like low self-esteem, life transitions and relationship concerns. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current attachments and coping, which can be useful for abandonment, attachment issues and family dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it particularly useful for anxiety, stress and mood-related problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Murray treats that as a collaborative process. He works with each person to understand their needs, goals and preferences, and integrates methods as appropriate so that therapy is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy with Murray is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which supports flexibility around work, family and mobility. These formats make it possible to access regular support from home or elsewhere, schedule sessions more conveniently and maintain continuity of care during periods of change or transition. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt these methods to suit different communication styles and therapeutic goals.
