Harriet Frank

Harriet Frank is a BACP counsellor who helps people feeling alone, anxious, or overwhelmed. She works with individuals who are coping with stress, low mood, relationship worries, body image and eating concerns, and struggles with self-esteem. Harriet writes in plain language and aims to offer warm listening and practical support.

Her way of working centres on person‑centred counselling, meaning she puts the client’s experience first and follows their pace. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her, whether that is managing anxiety, navigating separation, or rebuilding a sense of self after loss.

Harriet draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and help people notice unhelpful patterns. She encourages small, realistic steps and clearer communication so clients can try different ways of coping between sessions.

With three years of professional experience, Harriet aims to create a calm and non-judgemental space. She is committed to helping people who feel isolated or disconnected to be heard and to rebuild trusted relationships with themselves and others.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Person-centred counselling puts the client’s experience at the heart of the work and focuses on empathic listening, acceptance and following what matters most to the person. This helps when someone feels isolated or unsure where to start, because the therapist gently follows their lead and reflects what they say.

Evidence-based techniques are also used to identify unhelpful patterns and to try practical changes. Those techniques can include simple behavioural steps for managing anxiety, or structured ways to notice thoughts and feelings, which can reduce overwhelm and build confidence over time.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, adapt methods to personal goals, and check in regularly to see what is helping. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to use and when to try something different.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or letting people meet from a quieter place. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor sessions to your needs and help you pick the most helpful way of working.
