How do you choose who to work with? Here are some of my key points.
"I am well qualified, and I put ethics and safety at the front of my practice."
I studied counselling at Uni and did a masters in psychology to make sure I can do this properly! I have full adult and child DBS, full insurance and am a registered member of BACP. Your safety is very important to me.
"I feel the struggle and suffering of what many clients experience, because I have felt it before."
Life can be extremely tough. It is horrible to feel struggle or to suffer. In the past I have suffered from panic attacks, anxiety, depression, addictions, substance use, suicidal ideation and many more. I think I have ADHD which I am working on at present. Feeling what you feel can help me to help you overcome the problems.
"These are your sessions, I work with you to give you what you want or need from them"
I'm trained pluralistically which means that different people need different things in therapy. You are unique, I try to provide what you want or need from me by communicating with you and integrating different approaches and theories. I always continue to learn, to provide more for you and your sessions.
"I feel confident to work with almost all people and almost all problems"
I am a general psychotherapist, and I enjoy working with everyone. I'm not afraid from working with the majority of psychological presentations. Feel free to message and ask if I can help with something. I work well with anxiety based problems, I work well with males. If I don't know how to work with you I will say as this is being fair to you.
"I like to be honest, open, straightforward, real."
Sometimes we need to work things out ourselves, sometimes we need help to do so. It is better for me to be real with you, and to discuss our work together, than to take your money under false pretences. Working pluralistically can be pragmatic at times. I genuinely care for my clients, I am always gaining understanding your perspective, I am always wanting to help you.
"I want to try to leave the world a slightly better place"
Our meaning is important to all of us. We find meaning in love, work and suffering (Frankl, 1946). People have a ripple effect on the people we meet through our interactions (Yalom, 2008).
MORE ABOUT ME
Away from work I like music, I try to keep myself healthy but could do better, walking my dog helps this. I'm fairly boring right now but I do have a serious interest in human beings, the world and how we navigate our way through difficulties, life events and periods of change. I like to study and learn.
People like to work with me for long periods of time but different people need different things and it is more important to me that you get what you need from our work.
Contact me if you want to see if we are able to work together.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Murray Harvey. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Murray Harvey offers a broad and comprhensive outlook in his approach which I very much appreicate. He does this in a way which is still grounded and applicable to mundane life.
