About Murray Harvey
Murray Harvey is a BACP-registered psychotherapist with a blend of formal training and personal insight into mental health challenges. He completed undergraduate study in counselling and went on to earn a master's degree in psychology to ensure a strong theoretical and practical base for his work. He holds full adult and child DBS checks - background checks for working with adults and children - maintains comprehensive professional insurance, and is a registered member of the BACP, the UK professional association for counselling and psychotherapy.
Murray speaks from both professional knowledge and lived experience. He has managed panic attacks, anxiety, depression, addictions, substance use and suicidal thoughts in his own life, and he reports that he believes he has ADHD and is working on this at present. That personal history informs his empathy and understanding when supporting others through distress.
Trained in a pluralistic way, Murray adapts his approach to meet each person where they are. He draws on a range of clinical methods - including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential and Psychodynamic approaches, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused techniques and Trauma-Focused work - to tailor sessions to an individual’s needs. He describes his practice as pragmatic and collaborative, aiming to give people what they want or need from therapy while continuing to learn and develop his skills.
Murray works comfortably with a wide range of presentations and enjoys supporting people with anxiety-related difficulties, stress, family issues, self-esteem concerns, bipolar disorder and coping with life changes. He also focuses on areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, codependency, communication problems and caregiver stress, among others. He is open about his limits and says he will be straightforward if a particular issue falls outside his scope.
Outside of work Murray enjoys music, walking his dog and ongoing study about human behaviour and how people navigate life events and transitions. He values honesty and directness in therapy and aims to leave a constructive impact through his practice. Murray is not currently accepting clients.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?
Many people ask whether online therapy can make a meaningful difference. For a wide range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and life transitions - evidence indicates that online therapy can be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.One of the clearest advantages is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the way that suits them best - whether by video call, phone session, live chat or text messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to continue support during periods of change.
Licensed professionals deliver online care, and clients can look for a therapist who matches their needs and preferences. If the initial pairing does not feel right, many people choose to switch therapists to find a better fit. Online work can offer practical access to qualified therapists while supporting many of the same therapeutic goals as face-to-face sessions.
