“I have actually had a little bit of this. It’s not a million miles away from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

She added: “Less to do with therapy where you talk about your childhood. It’s more practical.”

In The Me You Can’t See, Harry bravely opened up about his experiences in therapy.

As a result, he made some surprising revelations.

He said: “My therapist turned around to me, and said, ‘That sounds like you are reverting to 12-year-old Harry.’ I felt somewhat ashamed and defensive.

“She said, ‘I’m not calling you a child. I’m expressing sympathy and empathy for you. You never processed it. And all of a sudden now, it’s coming up in different ways as projection.’

“That was the start of a learning journey for me,” he added.
