About Harriet
Harriet Frank is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years' experience and works with people reporting stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, eating concerns, low self-esteem and depression.
Harriet uses a person-centred way of working. She focuses on listening and helping people make sense of their feelings. Sessions are described in simple terms so people can speak without feeling judged.
Her work also covers attachment issues, body image, caring responsibilities and the effects of chronic pain, illness and disability. Communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt, isolation and social anxiety are listed among her focus areas. She also supports young adults navigating identity and self-love concerns.
Harriet offers sessions from the United Kingdom and the first contact is intended to find out what a person needs. She uses an approach that asks questions, reflects what is said and helps people consider practical steps they might take between sessions.
People can expect straightforward appointments that aim to clarify what matters most to them. Harriet supports talk that looks at current problems and how they affect daily life. The emphasis is on making sense of what is happening now, and on small, workable changes.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Harriet works from a person-centred framework which focuses on listening, reflection and supporting a person to speak freely. This approach helps with issues such as low self-esteem, relationship concerns and the emotional impact of stress and depression.She also uses evidence-based techniques that aim to help people recognise unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping. These techniques are practical and often include steps to test small changes between sessions. They can be useful for anxiety, social phobia and managing difficult thoughts about body image or eating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Harriet will discuss different ways of working and decide together what fits the person's needs and preferences. That collaboration helps set goals and practical actions to try in everyday life.
Confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, avoid travel time and have shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often offer sessions that suit quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth or a brief slot during a lunch break, but check which formats this counsellor currently provides before you book.
