About Frieda
Frieda Kagola is an AASW counsellor with seven years' practical experience. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious or depressed. She also supports those dealing with relationship problems, trauma and parenting concerns. Frieda aims to make beginning therapy a manageable step rather than a leap.
Frieda focuses on creating a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. She pays attention to how past attachments shape present reactions and relationships.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns. She also uses client-centred methods to follow each person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are used when practical strategies are helpful for managing anxiety or mood.
Frieda has worked with people facing grief, addiction, anger and loneliness. She also supports those navigating life changes, career stress, eating or sleeping difficulties, and money and financial issues. Her experience includes addressing abandonment, communication problems and feelings of emptiness.
People who meet with Frieda can expect clear, straightforward conversations and practical steps to try between sessions. She emphasises collaboration and looks for small changes that build over time. The aim is to help clients feel more able to manage day-to-day challenges and relationships.
How Frieda’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can be used to notice those patterns and practice new ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the person’s priorities and offering non-judgemental listening, which helps people clarify what matters most to them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Frieda will discuss options and choose methods together based on needs, goals and personal preference. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they feel relevant and manageable.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity when routines change. Talk with Frieda about what will best suit your situation and schedule.
