About Michael Harris
I am a fully qualified therapeutic counsellor and counselling tutor based in Medway, Kent, UK.
A member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, I embrace their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions. I am also qualified to work online/video call/telephone.
(BACP - Registration Number: 390873)
Trained as a person-centred counsellor and using integrative and creative techniques, I believe that I can facilitate
your
growth and development to empower
you
to live
your
life how
you
want to live it - through empathy, honesty and acceptance.
So, what does that mean?
Empathy -
I will 'step in
your
shoes', 'walk along side
you' and be with
you
every step of the way to
you
living
your
life, how
you
want it lived.
Honesty -
whilst this may be challenging at times; I offer a safe, secure and confidential space - free from judgement: a space where
you
can 'be
you' - with appropriate challenges to enable
you
to
think about and explore what
you
really want from life.
Acceptance -
I have experience of working with a wide range of client ethnicity and diversity: from adolescents, mid-seasoners and those in the autumn and winter of their lives - men, women and those who identify as gender, relationship and sexuality diverse (GSRD) and those who are gender and/or sexuality-questioning.
Everyone is welcome.
I can help with:
Anxiety
Depression
Anger Management
Bereavement
Stress
Work Related Issues
Severe and Complex Mental Health Problems
Relationship Issues
Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity (GSRD)
This is
your space, to explore
you.
