Frieda Majeed

Frieda Majeed is a counsellor who works from a client-centred perspective. She encourages people to speak about what matters to them and helps them use their own strengths to move forward. Frieda’s approach is warm and respectful, and she emphasises the person’s experience as the starting point for change.

Over 19 years she has supported people facing stress and anxiety, grief and loss, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, mood changes such as bipolar, and issues tied to self-esteem and life direction. Frieda pays attention to how family dynamics and blended family issues affect everyday life.

Her practice also addresses practical life strains like caregiver stress, cancer-related worries, work and career pressures, and compassion fatigue. She works with concerns about eating and sleeping, hoarding, isolation, jealousy, and managing major life changes. Frieda offers support for people exploring identity and LGBT-related matters.

Frieda is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu, which helps her connect with a wider range of people across the United Kingdom and beyond.

She believes the person knows their story best and that therapy is a collaborative process. Taking the first step can be hard, and her role is to listen, reflect, and help people try approaches that suit their goals and daily life.

To begin, Frieda asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. The process is straightforward and shaped around each person’s needs.

Client-Centred Work and Online Support

Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, relationship issues and life transitions where the person’s own values and choices are central.

Frieda’s way of working emphasises strengths and collaboration. She will work with each person to identify what matters most and tailor conversations to their goals. Deciding on an approach is part of the process, and she will help you test what feels most helpful over time.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the available session formats before booking, as these are set by the therapist. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also be useful when a quieter space or less visual pressure helps someone take part. Registered and accredited professionals often use online work to maintain continuity of care and to reach people who live further away.
