Harriet Frank, BACP

Harriet Frank is a person-centred counsellor registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings three years of clinical experience to her practice. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can explore difficult emotions and life challenges, drawing on person-centred values that prioritise empathy, respect, and the client s own pace.

Harriet works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, eating and body image issues, and self-esteem. Her practice also focuses on attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, loss and grief, identity and sexuality questions, social anxiety, and the particular pressures faced by young adults. She offers support for situations such as separation, guilt and shame, isolation, and trauma-related difficulties.

Sessions are offered remotely, enabling clients to connect from their own home or another private space by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Harriet aims to provide a nurturing environment where clients feel heard and understood while they work toward clearer goals and greater emotional wellbeing.

Person-centred and evidence-based care online

Harriet primarily works from a person-centred foundation, focusing on empathic listening and creating a respectful, non-judgemental space that helps clients explore feelings and make sense of personal experiences. This approach is often helpful for people managing anxiety, low mood, self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Alongside that person-centred basis, Harriet uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each client s needs. These techniques involve structured ways of working to address patterns of thinking, coping, and behaviour that can contribute to stress, eating and body image difficulties, and social anxiety. They are selected and adapted to suit the issue at hand and the client s preferences.

Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. Harriet works with each person to clarify goals, consider different approaches, and agree a plan that reflects their needs and priorities. Registered professionals and therapists often blend methods to support progress while remaining responsive to how a client is feeling.

Online therapy by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled around work, caregiving or mobility needs, and allows people to access consistent support without travel. This variety of formats helps make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into everyday life.
