My ideal client is a high-functioning, emotionally intelligent woman blindsided by betrayal- infidelity, porn use, or secret-keeping. She feels anxious, disoriented, and unsafe. She needs clinical healing, clarity, and real support. Her goal is to reclaim her voice, rebuild self-trust, and feel whole again- not just surviving, but rising stronger, wiser, and deeply empowered. I offer EMDR intensives specifically designed for betrayed partners, combining deep clinical healing with focused, trauma-informed support.

Sometimes, life just feels like too much. Whether it’s the pressure to do well in school, feeling like you’re constantly arguing with family, or just a heavy cloud of worry that won't go away—you don't have to carry it alone. I help young people and adults find their footing when things feel shaky. My goal is to give you a safe place to vent, learn how to handle big feelings, and figure out how to talk to the people you love without it turning into a fight. We’ll work together to help you feel more like yourself again: confident, heard, and ready for whatever comes next.

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.

Intervention Therapists
How does an intervention work?
An intervention is a planned, structured meeting in which a person’s family or friends voice concerns about the person’s behaviour and its consequences; the goal is for the person to accept treatment. In this meeting, the person’s loved ones (often with the guidance of a trained interventionist) share how the person’s behaviour has harmed them and the consequences if the person refuses treatment. They collectively ask the person to accept a proposed treatment plan.

How effective are interventions?
There isn’t extensive research on the efficacy of interventions, in part because success is difficult to measure. Individuals often enter addiction treatment after an intervention, for example, but treatment itself may not work, especially if the person only begins due to external pressure from others rather than due to internal motivation to change. However, if all other attempts at helping someone have failed, an intervention may be worth exploring.

What are the limitations of interventions?
While a friend or family member’s intentions are in the right place in wanting to help a loved one through an intervention, there are significant limitations to the approach. The surprising nature of the event can make the person feel ambushed or judged. They may feel embarrassed or ashamed as a result, and relationships may be strained or broken. This can make it difficult for the individual to be receptive to the concerns of their loved ones and the interventionist.

Are there alternatives to interventions?
Rather than confronting a loved one through an intervention, an effective and less pressured approach is to create space for a caring, open, one-on-one conversation. This works best if the loved one asks open-ended questions, listens attentively to the answers, and frames their observations and statements with concern rather than judgment. More than one conversation may be needed, but change can take root over time.
