Hi, I’m Freya. I work with couples, adolescents, and individuals, with a focus on relationships as central to wellbeing. Drawing on Gottman Method couples therapy principles, I support couples and individuals to strengthen connection, communicate with clarity, and move through conflict more effectively. Clinical training underpins my practice, but motherhood, three children, long term relationships, grief, and unplanned detours have given me wisdom. I’ve learned that hardship is universal, what matters is building the kind of support, both internal and relational, that lets us move through it with honesty and grace.

My work is relational and trauma-informed, meaning I’m interested not only in the challenges you’re facing, but also in the deeper patterns, experiences and relationships that have shaped you. I have over four years of experience supporting neurodivergent adolescents with emotional wellbeing and the challenges that can arise within school and social life.

Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’ve been carrying things on your own for a long time. My aim is to create a respectful and supportive space where we can explore what’s happening in your life together, at a pace that feels right for you. If this resonates, you’re very welcome to reach out.
