Training

Frey is a BACP-accredited counsellor and psychotherapist with over 10 years’ experience spanning private practice, charity services and the NHS. Over that time, he has supported a wide variety of people in navigating their difficulties and creating meaningful change in their lives. This background has given him a strong appreciation of neurodivergence, sexuality, gender and cultural difference, which he carries into the therapy room with him.

Frey has worked extensively with people struggling with anxiety, depression and trauma. Holding a Higher Professional Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling, he has also trained further in approaches such as Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and body-oriented psychotherapies. This integrative foundation allows him to offer a flexible, holistic style of therapy, tailored to the needs of each individual.

Approach

Frey offers a calm, grounded presence where you can speak freely and feel understood, even when things are hard to put into words. He listens with care and curiosity, actively exploring your thoughts, feelings and experiences with you.

His aim is to help you untangle your difficulties so you can focus on what matters to you and find more meaning and fulfilment in life. This involves developing new ways of responding to your thoughts and feelings so that you don’t feel pulled around by them. It can also involve exploring your values, identity and the different sides which make up who you are.

There is no one-size-fits-all in therapy. Some people like structure while others want to explore more freely. What each of us needs from sessions varies and can shift over time. Frey will work with you to find a pace and approach that suits you.

Anxiety

Sometimes it can feel like anxiety runs your life. It keeps you on edge, consumes your focus and pulls you away from the people and activities that matter most. Over time, this can erode your self-worth, strain relationships and make your world feel smaller. Frey offers support to manage anxious thoughts and feelings without being swept away by them, so you can begin to feel calmer and more in control of your life.

Exploring what lies beneath your anxiety can be both reassuring and grounding. Frey will help you untangle this with empathy and care. This can clarify areas to work on such as low self-worth, shame or relational traumas.

At the same time, it is important to work with anxiety in the here-and-now. Although it is natural to want to get rid of it, anxiety is part of being human. Fighting it often makes things worse in the long run. Frey can help you recognise self-defeating patterns and find ways to change your relationship with anxiety. This can help you move through life’s uncertainties with more confidence, freedom, and trust in yourself. It can also help you feel more secure and able to be yourself in relationships with others.

Depression

Depression is a common human experience that often leaves you feeling drained, despairing and disconnected from yourself and others. It may have started after a painful loss or major change. Or, it may have crept in slowly until life became unbearably heavy. Wherever it began for you, Frey offers a space to share the weight and gently start exploring a way through the fog.

With Frey, you’ll have the chance to be fully heard without your thoughts and feelings overwhelming you. Together, you can make sense of the patterns and experiences that hold you down and explore ways to reconnect with your sense of worth. This often involves working with your inner-critic to move beyond guilt and self-blame and rebuild trust in yourself.

The aim isn’t only to ease the burden, but to help you forge a clearer, kinder relationship with yourself and find a way forward that feels aligned with who you want to be. This can enable you to life a life where you focus on what’s important to you and connect more deeply with others.

Trauma

Trauma leaves deep marks, shaping how you see yourself, others, and the world. It may follow a single overwhelming event, or build over time from experiences such as childhood neglect, abuse, bullying, or discrimination. Whatever the cause, Frey offers support to restore a sense of safety and choice, and to move forward at a pace that feels manageable.

Frey works with a phased approach to healing from trauma. This is a fluid and flexible process rather than a rigid set of steps. The focus at the start is on creating safety and building resources so you don’t feel overwhelmed. It then moves onto processing the memories and feelings linked to trauma. Healing doesn’t always come from retelling the story though. For some, it’s more about releasing what the body has been holding, using somatic techniques.

Over time, the focus turns towards integration. This means reconnecting with your identity, values, and strengths as well as nurturing your relationships. The aim is not to erase the past but to free you from being defined by it, so you can start to live life on your own terms.
