About Freya
Why am I a therapist?
Please scroll down a little further to see my qualifications..
but first I want to introduce myself as a real person who, just like you has had life experiences to work through.
​
The reason that I have dedicated my life to helping others through these therapies is because I had first hand experience of being on the receiving end of this type of therapy when I was a young girl.
My therapist worked with me to understand my mind and to help me to know that I was capable of changing things for myself with the right information and support.
It changed my life.
​
It's the reason I'm here, because I know first hand how intimidating it can be to sit in the chair and talk about the things you're struggling with and I also know first hand what taking that brave step can lead to.
​
Alongside this I have always had a deep fascination in what makes us tick, why we feel and respond to life in the way we do.
I spent most of my adult life reading and studying the human mind, what makes us who we are and the things that can impact who we become. I am passionate about discovering what we're capable of overcoming and of achieving, once we believe we can.
​
When I came to realise that this is what I spent my free time exploring and educating myself about and given the fact that I have always wanted to help people to feel better.. becoming a therapist was, it turned out, a very obvious path for me to take.
I have to say it is the best thing I have ever done and continue to love what I do every day.
​
I have a very clear and committed dedication to being the best therapist I can be to help and support you.
​
I will meet you with compassion and respect.
You are in a safe, judgement free space in my therapy sessions.
You are free to come just as you are.
We are equals and you will be treated as such.
​
I am a real person, who sees the privilege in being able to do what I do.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you to make the changes you want to make and perhaps together, we can mark the beginning of a new chapter in your life's story.
