About Murray
Murray Harvey is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with a Bachelor-level counselling education and a Master’s in psychology. He is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Murray draws on a mix of approaches to make sessions practical and relevant to each person he meets.
He keeps sessions straightforward and honest. Murray says he has personal experience of panic, anxiety, depression and addiction, and uses that understanding to relate to people who are struggling.
Background and approach
He aims to offer clear, direct conversation and to adapt his style to what the client needs. Murray describes his work as pluralistic, which means he combines ideas from different approaches rather than following only one. He tends to focus on anxiety-related problems, stress, low self-esteem, bipolar experiences and coping with life changes.
He also addresses concerns such as communication problems, attachment worries and carer stress. In practice he listens first, then works collaboratively to set goals and try different ways of working. Sessions may include talking-through thoughts and feelings, noticing patterns in behaviour, and trying small experiments between meetings.
Murray keeps an open and pragmatic stance and will discuss progress honestly as therapy continues. Outside work he enjoys music, walking his dog and studying human behaviour. He welcomes questions about how he works and encourages people to ask before starting so they can see if the fit feels right.
How Murray's approaches translate online
Murray uses Attachment-Based ideas and Client-Centred practice in his online work. Attachment-based thinking looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice how they relate to others. It can be useful for worries about connection, abandonment and communication. Client-Centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and meeting the person where they are; it supports people who need a non-judgemental space to make sense of feelings and choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Murray will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest ways to proceed. He aims to be collaborative, checking in about what helps and adjusting methods if needed so the work stays useful and grounded in the client's aims.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video can mirror an in-person conversation and allow visual cues. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
