About Harriet

Harriet Frank helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, eating concerns, low self-esteem and depression using a person-centred way of working. She is BACP registered and has three years' experience as a counsellor.

Harriet uses a person-centred approach that focuses on listening and reflecting to help people understand their feelings. Sessions are delivered in plain language and aim to make it easier to talk about difficult topics. She encourages people to notice patterns in feelings and behaviour, and to find practical steps that feel manageable.

Her practice covers a broad set of worries. These include attachment and body image issues, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and social anxiety and phobia. She also supports people dealing with young adult issues and the emotional impact of long-term health challenges.

Harriet works with people who want a steady, respectful style of counselling rather than a highly directive or technique-driven model. The emphasis is on talking through what matters most and making small, sustainable changes between sessions. People can expect straightforward conversation, shared pacing, and practical signposting when useful.

She practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Before booking, clients should confirm current session options and the subscription payment details relevant to their location.

How Harriet uses person-centred work online

Harriet draws on person-centred practice, which involves attentive listening and helping people put words to how they feel. This approach suits concerns such as low mood, anxiety, relationship worries and issues with self-esteem because it allows clients to lead the conversation and set the pace.

She also makes use of evidence-based conversational techniques that help identify patterns of thought and behaviour and then break those patterns into small, practical steps. These methods can be useful for things like eating concerns, social anxiety and coping with chronic illness where concrete adjustments between sessions help daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Harriet will discuss options with each person and agree a way of working based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to offer continuity of support while accommodating work and family commitments.
