Hi, I'm Freya. I've been counselling for over 25 years, and 2 years ago started incorporating my animals (horses, dogs, cats) into my therapeutic practice. I work with all ages, and the people I work with are as unique as the issues they want to address. My clients are individuals, couples, and children. I have lived experience of neurodiversity (ASD, ADHD, Dyslexia, HSP) and consequently work with a lot of people who are neurodiverse themselves. My work focusses on understanding why we are the way we are, combined with techniques that foster change and growth, with the end goal of increased well being and resilience.
My specialities are trauma recovery (including from sexual assault & family violence), neurodiversity and couples counselling. I practice from my hobby farm and clients can engage with my dogs, cats and horses if they want to (higher service fee applies for Equine Assisted Psychotherapy).
If you would like to discuss your needs further, please contact me. An sms message is the best way to get in touch, with information about when is the best time to call you back, and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
