About Harriet

Harriet Frank is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with adults on common early-adulthood pressures such as stress, anxiety, relationships, eating concerns, low self-esteem and depression, and she lists young adult issues among her focus areas.

Harriet uses a person-centred way of working that keeps conversations focused on what matters to the client. Sessions are built around listening, reflecting and helping people find their own next steps. She aims to make talking about difficult emotions less overwhelming and to help clients notice small changes that feel manageable.

She also pays attention to attachment and body image concerns, and to problems that often overlap with ongoing health or caring responsibilities. These themes can shape relationships, self-worth and everyday routines, and Harriet helps people talk them through without judgement.

Practical issues such as communication breakdowns, divorce or separation stress, and social anxiety are commonly covered. She addresses guilt, shame and isolation alongside more obvious symptoms like panic or low mood. The goal is to clarify what’s happening now and to try new ways of coping.

Sessions are conducted in English. For people thinking about starting, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first meeting. The subscription-based model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Harriet works in a person-centred way, which means the focus is on listening and reflecting back what the client brings. This approach helps people clarify feelings and decide what small, practical steps to try next. It suits issues like low mood, confidence problems and relationship stress.

She also pays attention to attachment-related themes. That involves looking at how past relationships shape current expectations and patterns, and it can help with social anxiety, difficulty trusting others, or repeated relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach tends to be collaborative. The therapist will discuss options with the client, explain how different techniques might help, and adjust the way they work based on needs and goals. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change if something is not helpful.

The biography does not list which online session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also lets people choose times that fit study, shifts or job hours without needing to be in a different location.
