About Frieda
Frieda Kagola is an AASW counsellor with seven years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. She listens without judgement and helps clients find ways to cope and move forward. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at making the first step feel manageable.
Frieda places a strong emphasis on relationships and attachment. She helps people untangle patterns that cause pain, whether those come from past trauma, intimacy issues or communication breakdowns.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on feelings, needs and small, practical steps that can bring relief. Her work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred ideas. Frieda also uses cognitive behavioural and mindfulness strategies when they suit a person’s goals.
Sessions tend to be conversational, with gentle guidance and concrete tools to practise between meetings. She has supported people dealing with grief, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, career stress and compassion fatigue. Other areas she addresses include abandonment, control issues, infidelity, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Frieda offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people who are nervous about starting therapy. She encourages practical experiments and check-ins to track what is working. The aim is to build clearer communication with oneself and others, and to restore a sense of purpose and agency.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name their emotions, and then use that awareness to change unhelpful interaction patterns. It is often used for relationship distress, attachment wounds and deep emotional pain.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current ways of relating. It helps people understand patterns such as avoidance, clinginess or fear of abandonment and supports new, healthier ways of connecting.
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of the process. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offering empathy and reflection to help people understand themselves and decide on next steps.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Frieda will talk through options, try different strategies and tailor sessions to a client’s goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
