About Raheema
Raheema Harris is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, grief and losses, and low self-esteem. She also has experience with clients who have experienced domestic abuse and helps with motivation and confidence issues.
Her approach begins with listening and with simple, practical conversation. She uses client-centered methods to focus on what matters to the individual. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to help notice unhelpful thought patterns and on mindfulness techniques to reduce overwhelm.
Sessions are conversational and aim to make day-to-day coping easier. She works in ways that help people break problems down into smaller steps. That can mean trying new ways of responding to stress, practising grounding or breathing, or testing helpful thinking in everyday moments.
Raheema pays attention to how past experiences affect present relationships and feelings. Jungian ideas are sometimes used to look at recurring patterns and personal meaning. This can help when someone feels stuck in repeated behaviours or finds their sense of self diminished after loss or abuse.
She asks straightforward questions about current struggles and priorities. The goal is to agree on small, realistic actions and to check progress over time. People are encouraged to bring whichever topics feel most pressing, whether that is coping after grief, rebuilding confidence, or managing anger and relationship worries.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s concerns and choices at the centre. The therapist listens with an open, non-directive stance and helps clarify what matters most. This approach supports people who need to work through relationship strains, low confidence, or grief by focusing on their own priorities.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It teaches straightforward skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood and managing anger in everyday situations.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches, and adjust methods based on what helps. That process is collaborative and focused on practical steps the client can use between sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy home life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can also offer ways to practise mindfulness and CBT tools between meetings to support steady progress.
