About Freya
Her style is person-centred. She starts from what matters to the individual and helps build on existing strengths. Sessions focus on small, achievable goals so people can regain confidence and momentum in everyday life.
Freya has worked in areas including domestic violence and sexual assault, and has experience supporting people dealing with trauma and abuse. She also has experience in couples work and in helping with family conflict, blended family issues and parenting stress.
Her clinical toolkit includes approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Gottman Method and mindfulness practices. These are used to help with communication problems, attachment and forgiveness, and to reduce overwhelming thoughts and feelings.
People who choose Freya can expect a respectful, non-judgemental space to talk things through. She encourages independence and practical steps toward change. Many find starting therapy daunting; she aims to make that first step feel manageable and supported.

Step 3
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience first and aims to create a supportive, respectful space. Online sessions can still focus on what matters to the individual and build on strengths step by step. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises and thought patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood, often with homework between sessions to try new skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings and relationship patterns and can help people improve communication and attachment within close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit the person’s goals, needs and preferences. That decision can be reviewed as therapy progresses so the approach stays relevant.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule short check-ins or regular sessions around work, caregiving or study. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking to ensure they suit your needs.
