Murray Harvey, BACP

Murray Harvey is a BACP-registered counsellor with three years' clinical experience in the United Kingdom. He notes stress, anxiety, family concerns, self-esteem, bipolar difficulties and coping with life changes among the issues he works with. He also lists a wide range of additional focus areas including attachment and communication difficulties and caregiver stress.

Murray says he trained in counselling and completed a masters in psychology. He describes a pluralistic way of working, which means he draws on more than one approach and aims to match the way he works to what each person wants from their sessions. He prefers direct, open conversations and says he will be clear about the work he offers.

He writes that he has personal experience of panic attacks, anxiety, depression and other struggles, and that this informs how he connects with people. He says he is comfortable talking about difficult experiences and will say if something falls outside his scope. He also notes he works well with anxiety-based problems and with male clients.

Murray emphasises ethics and safety and records being a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with DBS checks and insurance in place. Outside work he spends time with his dog and reads about human behaviour and meaning in life.

People who choose to work with him can expect conversational, pragmatic sessions that mix approaches. He invites questions before booking so potential clients can check whether his style fits their needs.
