01 · Who Harrison works with
Harrison lists 5 specialisms and 27 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Harrison chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Harrison's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I am a clinical psychotherapist who works from a deeply person-centered and integrative perspective, tailoring therapy to the unique needs, history, and inner world of each individual. My approach is versatile and responsive rather than one-size-fits-all, drawing from multiple therapeutic frameworks to meet clients where they are and support meaningful, sustainable change.
I have experience working with a wide range of psychological concerns, including trauma, anxiety, emotional regulation, existential distress, identity issues, and periods of profound life transition. I approach therapy with compassion, curiosity, and respect, creating a safe and nonjudgmental space in which clients can explore difficult experiences, reconnect with their strengths, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves.
At the core of my work is the belief that healing occurs through attuned human connection. I aim to foster a collaborative therapeutic relationship that empowers clients, honors their autonomy, and supports growth at a pace that feels both challenging and safe.

03 · What happens next
Harrison practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Harrison's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Harrison at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Harrison is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Harrison.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Harrison actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Harrison's - Harrison has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
