Byron Harris, NCPS

Byron Harris is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and life changes. He also supports concerns related to relationships, intimacy, anger, self-esteem and work or career stress.

Byron says he uses a pluralistic approach. That means he draws on different methods and picks what suits the person and the problem. In an initial meeting he clarifies what matters most and sets clear goals for sessions. Progress and direction are reviewed regularly so the work can be adjusted as needed.

Sessions can be short-term or longer term depending on what the person wants. He describes his style as practical, and focuses on concrete steps as well as reflection. Byron commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness methods alongside client-centred work.

Before therapy starts he discusses what a successful first few sessions would look like and suggests ways to measure progress. He has a background in behavioural management and support work and holds a BSc and an Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling. He also lists post-qualification diplomas in related therapeutic areas.

People can expect straightforward session planning and regular reviews of how therapy is going. Byron aims to match methods to a person's needs rather than relying on a single technique. He works in English and does not take international clients.
