Frieda Majeed, BACP

Frieda Majeed uses a client-centred approach to therapy. She meets people where they are and focuses on understanding each person’s experience. Frieda works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, and trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, mood difficulties and self-esteem problems.

With 19 years of experience, Frieda draws on practical, everyday conversation to help people find clearer ways forward. She treats counselling as a collaborative process, listening first and then helping people notice strengths they can build on. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused, with time to talk and reflect.

Frieda offers help for parenting and blended family issues, communication and control problems, and the strain that comes with caregiving or cancer. She also works with people facing loneliness, forgiveness and guilt, hoarding, and difficulties around life purpose. These areas are approached with care and without judgement.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That membership means she follows professional standards set out by the organisation. Frieda speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu, which can make it easier for some people to express complex feelings.

Therapy sessions are available online in a range of formats. People who live outside the United Kingdom can also work with her. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to her availability.

Client-centred care delivered online

Frieda’s main approach is client-centred therapy. This involves focusing on the person rather than directing them. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps the person discover their own solutions; it can be helpful for issues like anxiety, low self-esteem and life transitions.

The emphasis in sessions is on collaboration. Frieda will work with clients to identify goals, try ways of tackling problems and adapt the approach as needs change. Finding the right way of working is part of the process and she supports clients in choosing what suits their situation and preferences.

Online therapy with Frieda is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful when face-to-face conversation matters, while phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
