About Frieda
Frieda Kagola is an AASW social worker with seven years of professional practice. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and parenting concerns. Frieda aims to make the first step easier by offering calm, non-judgemental care.
She creates a space where clients can speak openly about thoughts and feelings. Conversations focus on what matters now and what practical steps could help. Frieda uses clear, gentle questions to help people name patterns and try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on attachment ideas and client-centred ways of working. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness exercises when they suit the person. This mix helps with mood, worry and relationship problems.
Frieda often helps people untangle difficult life changes such as separation, grief or shifts in identity. She also supports those facing addiction, work stress or compassion fatigue. Sessions are paced to each person and may include practical tasks between meetings.
People can expect straightforward language and a respectful attitude. Frieda will listen, reflect what she hears and offer options rather than one fixed method. The aim is to build skills that carry beyond the therapy sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Attachment-based work looks at how early connections influence current relationships and trust. It helps when someone struggles with closeness, abandonment fears or repeating relationship patterns. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps with anxiety, depression and unhelpful habits by testing and changing thoughts and behaviours.Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the client's goals and try methods that match their needs. Together they review what works and adapt the plan as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people read facial cues and have longer conversations. Phone work can be easier when video is not possible, and live chat or text suits brief check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between appointments.
