Murray Harvey is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. He trained in counselling at university and completed a masters in psychology, and he is a BACP member. Murray draws on his own life experiences to connect with people who are struggling and to offer practical support.

He describes his work as flexible and patient-led. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, with Murray mixing different approaches rather than using a single method.

Background and approach

He aims to be open and honest and prefers straightforward conversation over jargon. Murray often supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and self-esteem concerns. He also helps those coping with bipolar disorder and major life changes, and he lists family-related worries among his specialities.

Additional focus areas include attachment issues, eating and food-related problems, codependency, dissociation and feelings of emptiness. In practice he draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred work and cognitive behavioural tools, along with existential themes and motivational interviewing. He says this pluralistic way allows him to adapt to different needs and personalities.

He also emphasises continuing learning to expand what he can offer. Away from work he enjoys music, walking his dog and studying human behaviour. Murray welcomes questions about whether he might be a fit and encourages people to message to find out more.

How Murray’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and how early experiences shape current patterns. Online sessions using this approach help people notice attachment needs and try different ways of relating when under stress.

Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens with empathy and follows the person’s pace, which can help when someone needs space to make sense of feelings or regain confidence.

Cognitive behavioural techniques give practical tools to manage worrying thoughts and unhelpful behaviours. Online sessions can include short exercises, homework and step-by-step plans to test out new ways of responding to problems.

Murray treats choosing an approach as a collaborative task. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences and how they want to work, then adapt methods accordingly. The process is iterative and aims to find what feels most useful rather than imposing a single model.

Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - video for deeper conversation, phone for lower bandwidth, live chat for quicker check-ins, and messaging for ongoing support between sessions.
