ABOUT FREYA
My pathway into counselling work was via community accountability & transformative justice initiatives, and my goal has always been to blend healing at the interpersonal & community level, with big-picture organising for social change
Therapy is my money-job, and I’m happy to say that I also really enjoy it. When I’m not working, I offer free or donation-based groupwork & bodywork, I’m in collectives, I write & research, and I generally work on projects that I hope will foster mutual support, healing and empowerment among communities that are marginalised by the systems we currently live in
Some of the skills and experiences that inform how I’ll show up when I’m supporting you:
- training and ongoing mentorship in Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Coherence Therapy and Focusing-Oriented Therapy
-
higher education in Psychotherapy, Psychology and Philosophy, with a focus on attachment-based and somatic therapies
-
years of experience working with complex relationship dynamics, including negative attachment cycles & chronic relationship distress — between partners, within polycules, and within families
-
years of experience working with clients with complex trauma histories; in particular, clients who have experienced sexual assault and/or family violence in childhood and/or adulthood
- years of experience working with transformative justice frameworks to intervene in situations of interpersonal/intimate partner violence, to create safety for survivors and accountability & change for people who have caused harm
- a deep love of theatre, dance, movement and other somatic, performative practices
