Frieda Majeed, BACP

Frieda Majeed is a counsellor who practices a client-centred way of working. She frames sessions around each person’s experience and treats the client as the expert in their own life. Frieda speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu and works from the United Kingdom.

She has 19 years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. Over that time she has supported people coping with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression and addictions. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain and sleep or eating concerns.

Her approach starts with listening. Frieda asks about what matters most to the person and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations are practical and down to earth, aimed at small, manageable changes rather than quick fixes.

Frieda also works with longer-term challenges such as bipolar, compassion fatigue and ADHD, and with life transitions including career shifts and caregiving responsibilities. She pays attention to family dynamics and blended family issues when relevant to the person’s concerns.

People choose her for focused, steady support through difficult moments like bereavement, trauma recovery or coping with chronic illness such as cancer. She emphasises collaboration and gradual progress so that changes fit into everyday life.

To begin, Frieda invites people to describe their main concerns and goals. From there she tailors sessions to the person’s priorities and pace.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-centred therapy places the person’s perspective at the heart of the work. The counsellor offers attentive listening, reflection and questions that help people understand their own thoughts and habits. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and coping with life changes by focusing on what the person finds most important.

Frieda uses the same client-centred ideas when meeting remotely. She will ask about the issues you want to address and work with you to set realistic goals. Together you decide how to pace the work and which everyday habits to target first, so the plan fits your needs and daily routine.

Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and to keep continuity during life transitions. If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session formats available before booking so you know how sessions will be conducted. The therapist will guide you on practical matters like session length and how to make conversations feel useful without asking for anything you cannot manage.
