I am a qualified counsellor working with adults and couples based in St Albans, Herts. I offer sessions online and in person and have experience helping with anxiety, depression, self-harm, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, anger, post-natal depression, addiction, trauma, and bereavement amongst others. For couples in crisis I can help you understand the subconscious roots of your relationship difficulties, looking at what first drew you together, where you got stuck and how to move forward.
I offer a safe space for you to explore unfinished business from the past and to help you discover where you are stuck in the present. We will look at how you are behaving, if it's an appropriate response and how you could react instead.
Making a commitment to counselling is a potentially life-changing decision which requires courage and trust so building a strong connection with your therapist is crucial. We can find new perspectives by identifying and challenging old patterns and barriers to help forge change.

It is astonishing how elements that seem insoluble become soluble when someone listens, how confusions that seem irremediable turn into relatively clear flowing streams when one is heard". Carl Rogers

Harriet has a calm, supportive presence as a therapist. I always felt safe with her, and knew she was taking my concerns seriously. She thinks deeply about what clients tell her, and offered wise reflections to challenge my thinking.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in Gestalt Therapy. I believe that gaining a deeper understanding of how we relate to ourselves and others, and the subsequent emotional and physical impact this has on us has a transformative impact which leads to growth and change.
