Frieda Majeed, BACP

Frieda Majeed is a counsellor who works from a client-centred approach. She believes people are the experts in their own stories and that their strengths can help them move through difficult times. Frieda offers steady support for those facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family difficulties, and other midlife challenges.

She has 19 years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP, which is shown as BACP. Frieda focuses on everyday problems such as sleeping and eating concerns, low self-esteem, anger, addiction and feeling stuck. She also supports people dealing with trauma, loss, and the life changes that often come in midlife.

In sessions she listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the person in front of her. The client-centred approach means the conversation is shaped by the client’s needs and pace. Frieda helps people talk through choices, notice strengths, and try small changes between meetings.

Her additional areas include caregiving strain, blended family issues, cancer-related stress, and challenges around commitment, communication and control. She also works with concerns such as loneliness, meaning and life purpose, hoarding, and complex emotions like guilt and shame.

Frieda offers therapy in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. To begin, someone completes the Start Therapy questionnaire to match and then schedules sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Client-centred work online and finding the right fit

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the conversation. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear, and follows the client’s agenda rather than imposing a plan. This approach suits people who want time to tell their story and to make decisions at their own pace.

That way of working can help with many issues Frieda addresses, such as managing anxiety, coping with grief, and navigating midlife changes. The emphasis is on building on a person’s existing strengths and trying manageable steps between sessions to see what helps.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Frieda will discuss options with the client and agree a way of working that fits the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process aimed at finding what actually helps in day-to-day life.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work or caregiving, reducing travel time, and allowing shorter or more frequent check-ins when helpful. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can often adapt session length and frequency to support people juggling busy lives.
