About Murray
Murray Harvey is a counsellor with a Bachelor-level counselling degree and a masters in psychology. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of practice experience. He aims to make sessions straightforward and honest so people know what to expect from the start.
He describes his work as collaborative and adaptive. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, using a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method.
Background and approach
Murray often draws on existential ideas about meaning, and practical techniques to help with day-to-day difficulties. Murray understands how distress can feel because he has experienced panic, anxiety and depression himself. That personal experience informs his empathy and the way he notices what matters to someone in the room.
He says he will be direct and open, and will tell a person if he does not think he can help them well. He commonly supports people facing stress, anxiety, self-esteem problems, bipolar mood concerns and big life changes. He also works with issues linked to attachment, communication, caregiving stress, eating problems and feelings of emptiness.
Murray notes that different people need different things, so he adapts his style to the person. Outside work he enjoys music, walking his dog and reading about human behaviour. He prefers to keep therapy practical and meaningful, and to help people find clearer ways forward rather than using jargon.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Existential Therapy helps people talk about meaning, purpose and the hard questions that come with major life changes. It often focuses on values, choice and how someone wants to live, which can help when feeling lost or overwhelmed.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns with others. It can help people understand why they react strongly in relationships and learn gentler ways of connecting and communicating.
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely and follows the person’s lead, helping them find their own answers rather than offering fixed solutions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Murray will discuss options and tailor methods to a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging works for ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life, while still receiving support from registered or accredited professionals.
