About Freya
Freya Browne is an ACA counsellor with more than 21 years of experience. She offers warm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. Her style is conversational and practical, aimed at helping people take manageable steps forward.
Freya believes clients are the experts in their own lives. She uses a person-centred approach that focuses on individual strengths and goals. Sessions are aimed at building confidence, improving communication and reducing the everyday overwhelm that comes with caring roles, separation and family conflict.
Her background includes work in domestic violence and sexual assault services and many years supporting people through relationship breakdown and attachment issues. That experience informs her calm, steady way of responding when people disclose difficult events or repeated setbacks.
Clinically she draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help change unhelpful thinking and Mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and build focus. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method ideas when people want to address patterns in close relationships.
Freya keeps therapy simple and goal oriented. She encourages small, realistic changes and helps people practise skills between sessions. The aim is clearer decision-making, better communication and increased day-to-day wellbeing.
How Freya's approaches translate to online work
Freya commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, validating a person’s experience and helping them set their own goals. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through difficult choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify what fits your needs, goals and preferences. That means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting the focus as you progress.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow quicker check-ins, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises and CBT worksheets between meetings, so skills can be practised in everyday settings.
