"There is no standard normal. Normal is subjective. There are seven billion versions of normal on this planet." - Matt Haig
Harriet Page BSc Prof. Dip Psy C.
Hi! I'm Harriet, and I'm so pleased you've found my website. I'm an NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) registered level 5 counsellor, life coach, and hypnotherapist. I specialise in anxiety, binge eating disorder, relationship boundaries, and goal achievement with an emphasis on emotional and spiritual growth. You can find me on The Counselling Directory, the NCPS website, and Bark. I also have an enhanced DBS.
Solution Focused Therapy can be the most wonderful tool in supporting someone to work through old beliefs, outdated habits, stuck emotions, and stagnancy, and if after having a browse around my website you feel that I would be a good fit for you, then please get in touch! I'd love to hear from you. I work as both a therapist and a life coach; the main different being that life coaching is an advisory role with an emphasis on solutions and working towards set goals. Explore the "life coaching" page for more information on my working practices.
You can find further information about the support I provide, some background around my work and education, and a whole host of resources to help in the interim if you're needing a pick-me-up, a pep talk, or some guidance through a low point.
Some of the things I love to support and work with clients around are; lowering daily anxiety, increasing self esteem and self worth, stress management, and the ability to set and hold boundaries. Regaining your emotional control and increasing your assertiveness can have such a knock-on effect through life that it's unbelievable. I feel really passionately about working with people to become their best selves, and seeing the gradual change as they become more and more who they were meant to be. I've been working in this field for my entire adult life, and I feel completely drawn towards working with people in a supportive role. I am a humanistic counsellor, but also have strong elements of transpersonal and solution-focused therapy. I really do feel honoured and privileged to be a part of people's life, and to have their trust and faith. If you feel that you aren't sure if I work with your particular issue, or if you'd like to speak to me to see if we connect, then please get in touch so we can arrange our first free 20 minute consultation. I'd love to hear more about what you want to work through and it'll give you a chance to ask me any questions!
My Education & Background
I have worked in the fields of sexual violence, criminal justice, suicide prevention and social services. These have been an invaluable source of experience and knowledge, as the varied positions have allowed me to work with many issues that I may otherwise not have encountered. These roles enabled me to work closely with varying mental health conditions and issues, such as OCD, bereavement, paranoia, EUPD, and depression. Through working with my clients I also devised many worksheets for them to work on between sessions- I have included several of my worksheets as a free resource which you can find by following the link below.
