About Spencer Barron
Spencer Barron is a United Kingdom based therapist with more than fifteen years of experience supporting individuals and groups across clinical and community settings. He maintains a private practice in North West and South West London and also works within the NHS and with charities that support people affected by conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and autism. Spencer practices an integrative humanistic approach - drawing on a range of therapeutic methods while focusing on connection in the here and now and meeting each person where they are.
He describes his role as a capable but not infallible guide, helping people recover a sense of aliveness and to draw on the resources of their life experience. He is willing to explore difficult and challenging material and frames therapy as an ongoing process of self-discovery. His training and personal study include a wide variety of eastern and western development practices, and he brings a decades-long meditation practice to his work.
Spencer leads weekly support groups, workshops and retreats that emphasize self-awareness, authentic communication and awakening. He works with a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, addiction, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and family conflicts, issues of intimacy and self-esteem, and life transitions. He holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates affiliation with that professional body.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the patterns of connection formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current bonds. It helps people understand feelings around closeness, abandonment and trust, and can be useful for relationship difficulties, trauma-related attachment issues and long-standing interpersonal fears.
Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the center of the process, offering empathic listening and support while the client explores their own goals and values. This humanistic approach is helpful for building self-esteem, navigating life transitions and finding greater clarity about personal choices.
Mindfulness Therapy draws on meditation and present-focused awareness to reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation. It can support anxiety, stress, sleep difficulties and the cultivation of self-awareness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself - Spencer collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences and adjusts the way he works as therapy progresses. That collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what matters most to the client.
Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - make it easier to access care from different locations and on flexible schedules. These options support continuity of work, practical scheduling, and the ability to use therapy in ways that suit daily life while still working with licensed professionals and therapists trained in the approaches above.
