About me
Hi, I’m Freya!
I’m a qualified humanistic counsellor offering in-person and online therapy in a calm, supportive space.
I offer a gentle, non-judgemental space where you can talk about whatever feels important to you, at your own pace. You do not need to have the right words or a clear goal before coming to counselling.
I work in a collaborative, person-centred way, which means I see you as the expert in your own life. My role is not to fix or advise, but to listen carefully and support you to make sense of what is going on for you.
I work with a range of concerns, including anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief, and questions around identity.
I am particularly interested in working with young adults and people going through times of transition, such as changes in work, relationships, or sense of self.
As an LGBTQ+ therapist, I also welcome working with LGBTQ+ clients, and aim to offer a space where your identity is respected and understood.
If you would like to explore whether we might be a good fit, I offer a free 15-minute phone call where we can talk a little about what is bringing you to counselling.
Session Locations
I offer in-person counselling in the rural village of Shipley, West Sussex, . I work with clients from surrounding villages, including Southwater, Ashington, Billingshurst, Storrington and Pulborough as well as Horsham and beyond. I also offer online counselling anywhere in the UK if you prefer to work remotely.
I'm happy to work flexibly with our session times for those who work variable shifts.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
