About Erika
Erika Harding welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or weighed down by loss. She helps with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship tensions, grief and life changes. Erika is a BACP counsellor with seven years of experience and offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk.
She focuses on practical help that fits each person. Conversations are shaped around what matters most to the client, whether that is coping with a recent bereavement, navigating career pressures, or working through intimacy-related concerns.
Background and approach
Erika aims to make sessions straightforward and compassionate. The work blends client-centred listening with structured problem-solving and cognitive-behavioural techniques. That mix lets clients be heard while also learning steps to manage thoughts, emotions and behaviours.
Plans are adjusted as progress is made. Erika also supports people dealing with forgiveness, communication breakdowns, first responder stress and end-of-life matters. She pays attention to everyday stresses as well as bigger life transitions.
Sessions are intended to be clear and focused on realistic change. Therapy can include exploration of values, short-term strategies and longer-term skills to build self-love and resilience. Erika tailors the pace and focus to each person’s needs.
To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to availability.

How Erika works online
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she and the client decide which ideas to try and adapt them as progress is made. This keeps the plan collaborative and responsive.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and offer a shorter check-in when needed. Some people also prefer a session without video to reduce bandwidth or to focus on a brief conversation. Registered or accredited professionals use their clinical approaches to guide remote sessions and to help clients make steady progress.
