About Harriet

Harriet Frank is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, eating concerns, relationship strain and low self-esteem. People often turn to her for help with guilt and shame linked to family, faith or relationship events.

Harriet uses person-centred ways of working that put the client's perspective first. Sessions focus on talking through what matters now, noticing patterns, and trying small changes that feel manageable. Conversations can cover attachment and body-image concerns, isolation or social anxiety, and the practical pressures of caregiving and chronic illness.

She also supports people facing communication problems, separation or divorce, and the particular pressures young adults encounter. In sessions she listens for the situations that keep guilt or shame active, and helps people consider different responses to those triggers. The work aims to make everyday steps less exhausting rather than promising a single big fix.

Harriet offers therapy in English and works with people located in the UK. Therapy sessions are provided via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; fees vary with location. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first appointment is scheduled through the See online therapy options button.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. She helps people name difficult feelings, look at how they affect day-to-day life, and try ways of responding that reduce ongoing strain.

How Harriet uses common therapeutic approaches online

Harriet works from person-centred principles, which means sessions focus on what the client brings and on listening carefully to their experience. This approach helps when guilt or shame feels overwhelming because it gives time to describe events and feelings without being rushed.

She also draws on evidence-based techniques that help with anxiety and mood problems. For example, simple behavioural steps can reduce avoidance and test feared outcomes, which often eases ongoing worry. Another practical approach is working with thoughts and beliefs about the self and others to see if they fit the facts and to try different ways of responding in daily life.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which approaches fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means people can try something for a few sessions and reassess how it feels.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people choose remote sessions because they fit around work, reduce travel time, and make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use online meetings to keep therapy practical and manageable within everyday life.
