Erika Harding

Erika Harding is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing grief, anxiety and life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely, creating a calm space where people can talk through painful or confusing moments. Erika is based in the United Kingdom and works in English and German.

She focuses on everyday struggles such as low self-esteem, relationship tension, stress at work, and coping after loss. She also supports people dealing with intimacy issues, career uncertainty, and first responder pressures. Hospice and end-of-life counselling is part of her work with clients experiencing loss and transition.

Erika uses a mix of Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means sessions often begin with listening and understanding your priorities, then working on clear steps to change thoughts or habits that make life harder. Conversations are practical and tailored to what feels most useful to each person.

Sessions aim to help people manage symptoms like anxiety or low mood, build better communication, and find ways to move forward after bereavement. Erika places emphasis on forgiveness and self-love as tools for healing. She frames progress as small, steady steps rather than sudden fixes.

To start, she asks people to choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is arranged after that, and fees vary by location and the subscription plan used.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Erika uses Client-Centred Therapy to start by listening carefully and reflecting back what matters most to you. This helps build trust and clarifies which issues feel most urgent. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking or behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, achievable changes you can make quickly to improve day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erika treats this as a collaborative process and will help you decide which methods suit your goals and preferences. She adapts conversations and exercises to fit what you want from counselling rather than using a fixed formula.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins or scheduled slots that suit work breaks, and it makes it possible to continue talking when mobility or travel is difficult. Registered professionals and therapists commonly tailor pacing, homework and practical exercises so you can apply learning between sessions.
