Support for mums designed by a mum that truly 'gets it'
Freya knows what it is like to be a busy mum and that finding time for yourself can be tough - so she has designed a range of services to support you, no matter where you are at in your mental health or motherhood journey. Mumshine supports are different as they address both the psychological and the practical. Each service has been lovingly created to help mums to identify how they are feeling, the change they want to make and simple, effective strategies to make that change a reality. It is possible to shine brighter.
​
Freya also knows the power of hope and positivity, she knows that mothers are some of the kindest, most intelligent and capable people on the planet with almost limitless levels of resilience, insight and empathy. Even at times, when you can't see it for yourself, Freya will see it in you. All Mumshine services are based on positive psychology principles to bring these strengths to life and help you build on the amazing person you already are.

How I support mums
I offer a range of ways to support mums and meet you where you are at
working with me
Counselling is a safe space to speak your mind and process your feelings in a safe, non judgemental space that is all about you - with the help of a highly skilled professional to help you navigate your mental health.
Coaching is more directive and focuses on building tangible skills popular areas include:
ADHD support
Career & Return to Work
Parenting​
Groups are a space where you can meet a small number of like minded mums to work through a set challenge. We share, learn and grow together and is more economical than one on one sessions.
working at your own pace
Short courses, webinars and worksheet bundles designed for mums that prefer to go at their own pace.
Learn more at your own pace with free tools and links to some of my favourite resources from across the web.
Bite sized articles in 5 minutes or less with tips, techniques and lessons learned to help you feel brighter.

About Freya
Hi, I am Freya. I am a tertiary qualified counsellor, a life coach, a mum, a business owner and also a late diagnosed AuDHDer (in no particular order). I am passionate about neuroaffirming care and working with our brains and strengths, rather than against them. In my lived experience as someone seeking therapy, and also as someone providing it - I have experienced he difference it makes when your therapist that 'get's it' and supports you as a whole person.

When working with clients I draw on all of these skills and lived experiences to find the right tool for the client, especially when working on balancing the emotional and practical needs of being a mum.

I offer a limited number of one-on-one online appointments each week in addition to dedicated groups, short courses and free resources. My aim is to meet and support mum's where they are at.
