About Murray Harvey
Murray Harvey places ethics and safety at the centre of his clinical work, combining formal training with professional checks to support good practice. He studied counselling at university and completed a master’s degree in psychology to build a solid theoretical and practical foundation. He holds full adult and child DBS checks, carries professional insurance, and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the national professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.
Murray speaks from both professional and personal experience. He has lived with panic attacks, anxiety, depression, substance use and suicidal thoughts in the past, and he is currently exploring possible ADHD. Those lived experiences inform his empathy and help him connect with people facing similar struggles.
Trained in a pluralistic way, Murray adapts methods to fit each person rather than applying a single technique to everyone. He draws on a range of approaches and works collaboratively with clients to shape sessions around their goals and needs. As a general psychotherapist he is confident addressing a broad variety of presentations, with particular experience of anxiety-based problems and effective work with male clients. When an issue lies outside his scope he will be direct about that so clients can make an informed choice.
Honesty, straightforward communication and pragmatic support guide his practice. He is interested in meaning, relationships and how people navigate life events, and he aims to help clients make small but meaningful shifts. Outside work he enjoys music, walking his dog and ongoing study of human behaviour, and he welcomes contact from people who want to explore whether they could work together.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasises the ways early relationships shape patterns of relating and emotional regulation. It helps people who struggle with trust, intimacy, abandonment fears or recurring relationship difficulties by exploring those patterns and building more secure connections.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual’s experience and creates a non-judgemental space where the client leads the pace and topics of work. This approach supports self-esteem, decision-making, and personal growth by validating the client’s perspective and encouraging autonomy.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It offers practical tools to manage symptoms of anxiety, low mood and stress by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing alternative coping strategies.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Murray works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. He draws on different models according to the client’s needs, goals and preferences, and discusses options openly so the work remains aligned with what the client wants to achieve.
Online therapy with Murray is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes, reduce travel time and allow therapy to fit into a busy life while still working with a licensed professional.
