About Freya
ACA, 21 years' experience. Freya Browne is an ACA counsellor with more than two decades working in Australia. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem issues. She also pays attention to areas such as attachment and abandonment, blended family and caregiver stress, communication and commitment problems, and effects of domestic violence and separation.
Freya uses a person-centred approach and works with clients to build on their strengths. She also integrates cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to help people manage difficult thoughts and feelings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and elements of the Gottman Method inform her work on relationship concerns.
Sessions involve listening, practical strategies and step-by-step goals. Freya aims to help clients notice patterns, try small changes, and practise new ways of relating and coping. She places emphasis on collaboration and on what clients want to achieve between sessions.
Her background includes work in domestic violence and sexual assault services and experience with couples therapy. That history shapes how she supports people dealing with trauma, dissociation, forgiveness and family of origin issues.
Freya offers counselling in English and works from Australia. Costs vary by location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
Approaches used in online counselling and practical considerations
Freya works from a person-centred foundation which focuses on listening and building on a person's strengths. This approach helps people who want to clarify goals, make decisions, and work at a pace that suits them.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used for relationship work; it concentrates on identifying feelings and changing interaction patterns between partners to improve connection and communication.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Freya collaborates with clients to decide which methods match their needs, goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as appropriate.
