About Erika
Erika Harding is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of practice. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, low self-esteem, grief, intimacy concerns, career questions and coping with life changes.
Erika speaks English and German and aims to make sessions straightforward and focused. She uses clear methods to notice unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding in daily life.
Her style draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means sessions combine practical steps to change thinking and behaviour with time to talk through what matters most to the person. Sessions usually set small goals and review what helps between meetings.
Erika has supported people through grief, loss, miscarriage and end-of-life concerns. She also works with first responder issues, communication problems, forgiveness and building self-love. She describes these as common topics that she helps people work through in short and longer term work.
Practical details are kept simple. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Erika uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behaviour changes. CBT work often includes setting clear tasks between sessions and reviewing what did or did not help.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and supporting the client to lead the topics and pace of work. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify practical steps and short-term goals that move daily life forward.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and agree a plan together. That collaborative decision means the sessions can focus on either short-term problem solving or slightly deeper exploration, depending on what the person wants.
Practical benefits of online work include being able to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone or lower-bandwidth options if video is difficult, while others use video to read facial cues. The exact session formats should be confirmed before booking so they match daily routines and technical needs.
