Harriet Frank offers straightforward, calm support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. She presents as a steady presence who listens without judgement and helps clients find clearer ways to cope. Harriet is named in the first paragraph to make it easy to connect with who will be in the room.

She works with people facing issues such as relationship difficulties, eating concerns, low self-esteem and depression.

Background and approach

She also helps with body image, attachment issues and social anxiety. Practical conversation in sessions focuses on what feels most urgent and what can change next. Harriet has three years of experience and holds BACP, which indicates professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

That background shapes how she meets people and talks about problems. Sessions aim to be simple and centred on the person's own goals. Her approach is person-focused and supportive.

People can expect to speak at their own pace while Harriet reflects back what she hears and helps identify small steps forward. The tone is warm and steady rather than directive. Sessions can address caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and young adult issues.

Conversations also cover communication problems and building self-love. Harriet helps people work through immediate worries and plan for lasting changes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Person-centred counselling focuses on listening, empathy and reflecting what the person says. It helps people feel heard and understand their feelings better, which can ease anxiety, low mood and issues with self-esteem. A second common technique is brief practical problem-solving, which breaks problems into manageable steps and looks for realistic changes a person can try between sessions.

Finding the right way of working is collaborative. The therapist will check in about what helps and what does not, and adapt techniques to match each person's goals and preferences. Together they choose the pace, the focus and which approaches to try next.

Online therapy with Harriet uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or when someone needs flexibility around work or caregiving. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the same therapeutic focus and support.
