Raheema Harris, BACP

Raheema Harris helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship strains. She works with issues around self-esteem, confidence and intimacy. She also supports people affected by trauma, abuse and major life changes.

Raheema uses straightforward, person-focused conversations. She listens first and adapts the pace to each person. Sessions aim to build coping skills, clarify goals and strengthen what already works for the individual.

Her approach draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques. She blends these with mindfulness practices and elements of Jungian thinking, depending on what the person finds useful. That mix helps with emotional regulation, shifting unhelpful thinking, and exploring deeper personal themes.

Raheema has three years of professional experience and is BACP registered, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her background includes supporting people through domestic abuse, grief, caregiver stress and issues such as abandonment and codependency.

Sessions are offered in English and run online by video, phone, live chat or messaging. Raheema aims to make therapy practical and manageable, with steps people can use between sessions. She encourages small changes that add up to lasting improvement.

Approaches used online and how they help

Raheema combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques to support people online. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and reflecting back what matters most to the person, which helps build trust and clarity about goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and manage mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk through what feels most useful and adjust methods to match your needs, goals and preferences. That way the work is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and face-to-face connection. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging suit shorter exchanges or people who prefer writing their thoughts. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and daily life.
