About Erika

Erika Harding is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are struggling with grief, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. Erika writes simply and directly so clients can understand what to expect before they book.

With seven years of practice she focuses on practical, conversational therapy rather than medical labels. Sessions aim to help people make small, useful changes. Erika pays attention to everyday pressures like work stress, career choices and intimacy worries.

Background and approach

Her style blends client-centred listening with short-term, goal-focused methods. Cognitive-behavioural ideas are used when thoughts and behaviours get in the way of feeling better. The result is a flexible plan that suits the person in front of her rather than a one-size-fits-all programme.

Erika also supports people facing first responder stress, end-of-life and hospice concerns, forgiveness work and recovery after miscarriage. Communication problems and rebuilding self-love are regular themes in her practice. She keeps sessions down to earth and practical so clients can try things between meetings.

If someone prefers to work in English or German she can carry sessions in either language. Online formats such as video, phone or messaging are options. To start, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled session get the process underway.

How Erika’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflecting feelings and helping them make sense of their experience. This approach is useful when someone needs time to open up or sort through confusing emotions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood. It breaks problems into manageable steps and tests practical changes between sessions. CBT can help with anxiety, depression and patterns that keep a person stuck.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Erika will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods as work progresses. Together they set short-term steps and review what helps most so the plan stays relevant.

Online formats make this work more flexible. Video calls suit in-depth conversations and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or need less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support and people who prefer writing. These options let people choose what fits their routine and communication style.
