About Freya
Freya Browne is an ACA counsellor in Australia with 21 years of professional experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and confidence. She also pays attention to issues like attachment and abandonment that affect how people relate to others.
Freya uses an approachable, client-centred style that focuses on what a person wants to achieve. Sessions involve hearing the story, identifying small steps forward and practising new ways of relating. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) when emotions and relationship patterns are central to the work.
She also blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help with unhelpful thinking and Mindfulness Therapy to build noticing and calm. The Gottman Method informs her work when relationship interaction patterns need clearer structure and skills practice.
Freya has experience working in settings that included domestic violence and sexual assault, and she has worked with common consequences of trauma such as dissociation and co-morbidity. Practical supports for caregivers and people juggling blended family issues are part of her focus.
People can expect clear conversational sessions with practical tools to try between meetings. Freya encourages gradual change through achievable goals and collaborative planning. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Approaches used in online sessions
Freya commonly draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people notice and name strong emotions and patterns that show up in their relationships. EFT is useful when attachment and repeated emotional cycles are a central concern.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening, reflecting and following the client’s priorities so the person steers the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) appears in sessions to identify thinking patterns and practise different responses for anxiety and depression.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences and practical needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
