Byron Harris, NCPS

Byron Harris offers a warm, practical approach to counselling that draws on a range of therapeutic models to meet each person where they are. As a pluralistic counsellor, he selects methods that best suit the individual rather than committing to a single technique, and he begins work by establishing what matters most to the client and setting clear aims for the sessions. Progress is reviewed regularly so the focus and methods can shift as therapy develops and new needs emerge.

He frames counselling as the client’s journey and treats each person as the expert in their own experience, while providing a non-judgemental space for exploring difficulties from multiple angles. Common approaches he uses include mindfulness-based techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic theory, solution-focused therapy, motivational counselling, and humanistic methods. He is experienced in both short-term work, including planned single-session support, and longer-term therapy when that is helpful, maintaining a clear purpose for each meeting.

His background is in behavioural management and support work, and his formal training includes a Bachelor of Science (BSc), an Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, and post-qualification diplomas in CBT, REBT, child and adolescent counselling, solution-focused couples counselling, and mindfulness competency to teach for children and adults. He also holds the NCPS credential. He draws on this combination of practice and training to support people navigating stress, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and related challenges.
