About Harriet
Harriet Frank is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, eating concerns, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those dealing with social anxiety and phobias and related worries.
Harriet uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on listening and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. Sessions are conversational and paced to the client. She aims to help people notice patterns in how they think and respond, and to try small changes that make daily life easier.
In practice Harriet helps people facing attachment issues, body image concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication difficulties and the aftermath of separation. She also addresses guilt, shame, loneliness and the questions many young adults face as they move through life changes.
Her work commonly includes talking through difficult feelings, reflecting on relationships, and practising ways to manage overwhelming moments. People can expect straightforward, calm conversation and practical ideas to try between sessions.
Sessions are held from a location that suits the client. Before a first meeting prospective clients complete a short questionnaire to match them and then schedule an initial session. Costs vary with location and sessions are provided through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help
Harriet describes her work in person-centred terms, which means sessions focus on listening, understanding and responding to the person's experience. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to make sense of feelings and relationships.The biography notes evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used alongside person-centred practice. These techniques often include structured ways to notice thoughts and behaviours and to practise small changes between sessions. Such methods can be useful for anxiety, phobias and managing stress in everyday situations.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Harriet will work with the client to decide which methods feel most helpful, adapting what they try as the work progresses. The focus is on matching techniques to the client’s goals and comfort level rather than following a fixed plan.
The profile does not list specific session formats. Please confirm which online or in-person options are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or sessions that avoid travel time. Telephone sessions can be used when less bandwidth is needed, and video can help preserve visual cues during conversation. Registered or accredited professionals can advise which format will best suit a person’s needs and practical circumstances.
