Raheema Harris, BACP

Raheema Harris is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and relationship difficulties. She also supports those struggling with self-esteem, motivation and confidence concerns.

Raheema has experience supporting people who have been through domestic abuse and those facing life changes such as illness or caregiving stress. She lists codependency, abandonment and issues around intimacy among her additional areas of focus. Her practice describes a straightforward, person-focused way of working that aims to clarify what matters to each client.

In sessions she adapts conversation and methods to the individual. She draws on client-centred ideas to prioritise the client’s perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and to practise small changes.

Her background also includes elements of Jungian thinking and mindfulness practices, which she brings in when they suit a client's needs. Those approaches can help with understanding repeated patterns and with learning simple present-moment practices to manage stress and find steadier mood shifts.

People who come to her can expect direct, plain conversation about current problems and practical steps to try between sessions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial meeting to agree goals and the next steps.
