At my practice, I offer lots of different types of counselling services – from individual sessions to group therapy. It all depends on what each client needs and what they’ll benefit from. Because a lot of my clients lead busy lives, I also offer online and telephone counselling if that suits their schedule better. Although I always suggest coming in for a face-to-face session now and then, as these are often very helpful.
To be a certified counsellor, you need to have a Level 4 qualification in counselling. This can be as a diploma, or at a degree or postgraduate level. I chose to go down the university route by undertaking a BSc Hons in Psychology & Counselling. This meant that I got a degree and was accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am now a registered counsellor with over 10 years of experience and have completed a number of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) modules.
Most of my clients have certain goals in mind when it comes to their therapy. Often they want to resolve issues which are causing difficulties in their lives. This may be problems in their personal relationships that they want help working through. It could be with their partner, family, friends, or work colleagues. Or they may want to develop coping mechanisms to help deal with their own mental health. But often these can interlink. For example, if a client is wanting help with their personal relationships, this often has a positive knock-on effect on their own mental health.

Contacting Freya was one of the best things I've done in my life. I started off wanting to improve my concentration and to avoid passing on certain traits to my child (anxiety, bad reactions to sudden loud noises) Session by session we unpicked the causes and dealt with childhood trauma that I'd both knowingly and unknowingly suppressed. From there I was taught a combination of exercises and ways of thinking which I often do now without realising. I've come out the other side of our sessions an infinitely happier, more confident, more assertive, healthier person which in turn has allowed me to be a much better father, husband, friend and businessman. I'd highly recommend Freya to anyone. The whole experience has been transformative and I'll be forever grateful.

I don’t know how to start. When I first booked myself in for an assessment with Estelle, I was a bit sceptical because I had been working with 2 different therapist before and I didn’t see any improvement in my mental health. But since I first talked with her, I felt a weird connection and I trusted her from the beginning. She helped me a lot and now I feel like the life is beautiful and worth living and that’s thanks to her. We have worked together for a short period but she managed to change so many things about my mentality and the way I’m seeing the things. She always been there for me, doesn’t matter when, she is supportive and I feel like she is a mom that everyone would love to have. I don’t have words to describe how grateful I am for her. She is definitely the best therapist and not only that, she is the most amazing human being I’ve ever talked to.
