About Freya
Freya Browne is an ACA counsellor with over 21 years of experience. She offers a calm, warm presence for people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress or relationship strain. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping people take the next small step forward.
Freya believes each person knows their own story and that therapy should build on strengths. She uses a person-centred approach that encourages independence and steady progress.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer communication and manageable goals rather than quick fixes. Her background includes work with people affected by trauma, domestic violence and sexual assault, and she has experience supporting those facing separation, infidelity and blended family challenges. She also helps people whose difficulties include low self-esteem, depression, or complex family of origin problems.
Freya draws on a mix of approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques, emotionally-focused work and mindfulness to suit each person's needs. She emphasises plain language, real-life tools and achievable changes you can use between sessions. People who choose Freya can expect a respectful, curious counsellor who listens first and suggests options second.
She aims to make the process manageable and to support clients as they move toward clearer thinking and more resilient coping.
Approaches that suit online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and helping the client lead the pace of change. It is useful when someone wants a steady, respectful space to make sense of feelings and set small goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice and change thinking or behaviour patterns that keep anxiety or low mood going. It works well for stress, anxiety and depression and gives concrete exercises to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The counsellor will discuss options with the client and recommend techniques based on goals, preferences and how someone responds in early sessions. This helps shape a plan that feels useful and realistic rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions can be done by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break, while messaging or live chat suits quick check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent when life is busy or travel is difficult.
