About Erika
Erika Harding is a counsellor with seven years of experience supporting people through hard moments. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also helps when relationships become strained, self-esteem is low, or life changes feel overwhelming.
Erika creates a warm, compassionate space where clients can talk without feeling judged. She aims to listen first and follow each person’s pace. That means conversations focus on what matters most to the individual and on small steps that feel manageable.
Her way of working draws on client-centred principles, cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused ideas. Client-centred therapy here means the person’s own experience guides sessions. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts and behaviours that may keep problems going. Solution-focused work helps spot strengths and next steps rather than only looking at the past.
Erika adapts discussions and plans to each person’s needs. She offers practical tools and short-term strategies alongside longer conversations when needed. Many people come for help with communication problems, intimacy issues, career stress, or coping after loss.
She holds BACP, which is shown as a professional credential. Sessions are offered in English and German and are based in the United Kingdom. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the counsellor’s availability.
Approaches used in online counselling and how they help
Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work and focuses on listening, empathy and following the client’s pace. It is useful for people who need space to make sense of feelings and to be heard.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on strengths and small next steps to move toward preferred outcomes, which can be helpful for short-term goals like coping with change or improving communication.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The counsellor works collaboratively to choose methods that match the person’s needs, goals and preferences. Plans can be adjusted as the relationship and circumstances evolve so the work stays relevant.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when schedules demand them and can suit quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth connections if needed.
