Freya Browne, ACA

Freya Browne is an ACA counsellor with 21 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive for anyone thinking about change.

Freya takes a person-centred way of working. She listens with curiosity and warmth, and treats each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps that build confidence and independence over time.

Her background includes work in domestic violence and sexual assault services, and experience supporting people through trauma, abuse and family conflict. She also has experience in couples work and helping people with parenting-related stress and blended family challenges.

Freya uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches alongside emotionally-focused and mindfulness practices. Conversations often include clearer communication strategies, ways to manage strong emotions, and steps to rebuild trust and connection after hurt.

People come to her for help with attachment concerns, abandonment fears, dissociation, infidelity, and the ripple effects of separation or divorce. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, co-morbidity, control issues and forgiveness work.

Freya invites a collaborative pace and focuses on what matters to each person. She offers down-to-earth guidance and encourages steady progress toward a more fulfilling life.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience first and focuses on listening, validation and collaboration. It helps when someone wants a supportive space to make sense of their feelings and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and connection, helping people improve communication and repair relationship strains.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Freya will discuss which methods fit your goals and preferences, and she will adapt the pace and focus as you go. This is a collaborative process aimed at finding what helps you make steady progress.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let conversations continue between appointments using agreed follow-ups and recommended exercises, helping people practise new skills in daily routines.
