Byron Harris

Byron Harris is a counsellor who helps people work through anger, stress and related issues. He presents a warm, practical style and aims to create clear goals with each person from the first session. Byron uses everyday language and tries to make sessions straightforward and focused on what matters to the client.

He follows a pluralistic way of working, which means he draws on different approaches depending on what fits best. Early sessions focus on understanding what the client wants and agreeing a direction, with regular reviews to check progress. This lets the method change as the work develops.

Sessions can be short-term or longer term, including planned single-session work when that suits the person. Byron explains the purpose of meetings and keeps sessions goal-aware so time is used purposefully. He aims to match practical tools to the issue at hand.

His background includes behavioural management and support work spanning more than 10 years. He has a BSc degree and an Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling. Byron also holds post-qualification diplomas covering cognitive behavioural work, rational emotive behaviour therapy, child and adolescent counselling, solution-focused couples counselling, and mindfulness competency to teach for children and adults.

Byron holds NCPS as a credential and practises in the United Kingdom. He works in English and does not take international clients. He invites prospective clients to consider what they hope to change and to discuss how sessions might help them reach those goals.

How Byron’s approaches translate to online work

Byron commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside client-centred and mindfulness-informed ways of working. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based actions, which can be useful for anger and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress. Mindfulness approaches teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Byron treats the choice as collaborative and adapts methods to a person’s needs, aims and preferences. He will discuss different options and change direction if something isn't working, so clients help shape their own plan.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session formats before booking as session types are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make certain skills practice, like breathing or behavioural experiments, easier to fit into everyday routines. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find online sessions a practical way to keep therapy consistent alongside work and family commitments.
