Hi, I'm Freya. I've been counselling for over 25 years, and 7 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, with techniques that foster change and growth. The end goal is permanent healing and improved resilience to navigate life.

Drawing on Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and attachment and trauma-focused frameworks, we work with both mind and body — not just talking about problems, but helping you actually feel different.
You don't have to keep carrying it alone.
Maybe anxiety has been with you so long it feels normal — the racing thoughts, the tight chest, the sense that something's always about to go wrong. Maybe trauma has left you disconnected from yourself or the people you love. Or life has shifted in ways you didn't expect, and you're not sure who you are anymore.
Whether you're an individual, a couple, or a teen navigating something hard — this is a space where you can breathe, be seen, and start to heal.
