About Erika
Erika Harding is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns. Erika also supports those dealing with grief, intimacy-related issues, career shifts and other life changes.
Erika aims to create a warm and non-judgemental space for conversation. She helps clients talk through difficult feelings and notice small changes that make daily life easier. Sessions are tailored to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Her practice blends client-centred ways of working with solution-focused ideas and cognitive behavioural therapy, often mixing elements to suit the problem at hand. That might mean looking at thoughts and patterns, setting short practical goals, or simply making more space to be heard.
Erika has seven years of experience working with a range of concerns including communication problems, first responder issues, forgiveness, and hospice and end-of-life counselling. She is experienced supporting people through miscarriage-related loss and other forms of bereavement.
Conversations can include practical coping strategies as well as emotional processing. The work is collaborative: together the client and Erika shape what to focus on and how to move forward. To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and book according to availability.
How Erika’s approach works online
Erika works from client-centred, solution-focused and cognitive behavioural perspectives and adapts those methods to fit online sessions. Client-centred work means the conversation follows what matters most to the person and aims to make them feel heard. Cognitive behavioural elements look at thoughts and small behaviour changes that can ease anxiety or low mood. Solution-focused techniques help set short, practical goals so progress is visible between sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Erika collaborates with each client to decide which methods to try, based on their goals, current challenges and personal preferences. She checks in regularly so the plan can change if something isn't helpful.
If you are considering remote work, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to use video for every session, depending on what the counsellor offers. Discuss practical arrangements and session length when you complete the matching questionnaire so bookings match your needs.
