Byron Harris, NCPS

Byron Harris is a counsellor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief and midlife changes. He works in a direct and practical way, and aims to make first sessions clear and focused so people know what to expect. Byron uses a mix of approaches and checks in regularly to make sure the work is useful.

He follows a pluralistic style, which means he draws on different therapies depending on what suits the person. Early sessions set goals together and shape the path forward. Reviews happen regularly so the focus can shift if needed.

Byron combines client-centred listening with structured tools from cognitive behavioural methods and mindfulness. He also uses elements from dialectical behaviour approaches and motivational interviewing when helpful. This allows practical skills work alongside deeper reflection about values and choices.

He has seven years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential. His earlier background is in behavioural management and support work, with over ten years in that field, and he holds an Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling plus further diplomas in CBT, REBT, child and adolescent counselling, solution-focused couples counselling and mindfulness teaching.

Sessions can be arranged to be short-term or longer term according to what a person wants. He works with a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, career and financial worries, caregiver stress, loneliness, self-harm and men’s issues. The emphasis is on practical steps and ongoing review.

How Byron's therapeutic approaches translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions that match those values, which is useful for life changes and midlife questions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviours to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing skills to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Byron uses a collaborative method and will discuss what feels most useful based on goals and preferences. He checks progress regularly and adapts the mix of techniques as therapy develops so the plan stays relevant.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports using practical exercises between sessions, such as mindfulness practices or CBT worksheets, to reinforce progress in everyday life.
