Harriet Frank

Harriet Frank is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, eating and body image concerns, depression and low self-esteem. She offers a calm place to talk through difficult feelings and confusing choices. Harriet aims to listen without judgement and to help people find clearer ways forward.

Her work is rooted in person-centred care, which means she follows the pace a client needs and focuses on what matters most to them. Sessions are paced around the person and their priorities rather than a fixed agenda. This approach is often useful for people who want empathy, steady listening and practical steps they can try between meetings.

Harriet draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with attachment issues, communication problems and the strain that comes from caregiving or chronic illness. She also supports people dealing with isolation, guilt, social anxiety and the practical fallout of separation or divorce. Conversations often include exploring unhelpful patterns and trying small changes that can make day-to-day life easier.

With three years of experience, Harriet works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. Her practice is aimed at adults who need a supportive, non-judgemental space to sort out their thoughts and feelings. Before booking, clients are invited to use the Start Therapy steps to match and schedule a first session.

Harriet’s goal is to help people rebuild trust in themselves, grow clearer self-belief and find ways to manage difficult emotions alongside daily life.

How healing approaches are used in online therapy

Harriet uses person-centred practice, which focuses on listening and responding to what each person brings to a session. This approach helps people feel heard and can be good for dealing with anxiety, low mood and issues around self-esteem and identity.

She also applies evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with body image, attachment difficulties and the emotional strain of chronic illness or caregiving. These techniques typically involve noticing thought and behaviour patterns, gently testing new ways of coping, and setting small tasks to try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Harriet will talk through options with clients and decide collaboratively which methods match their goals and preferences. The therapist adapts pace and focus as trust grows and clarity improves.

If you are considering online therapy, please check which session types are currently offered before booking, as the biography did not list formats. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can use their usual daily spaces for therapy. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor the practical arrangements to suit a client's schedule and needs.
