Frieda Bou Diab

Frieda is a highly experienced counsellor and is a registered member of the Australian Counselling Association. She supports adults and couples with a range of presenting issues.

Frieda’s approach allows her clients to feel heard and validated in a safe space while walking beside them in life’s journey. Frieda helps her clients to enrich their life by navigating life’s challenges that they face, supporting them to develop tools to use on a day-to-day basis. Frieda helps draw upon clients' awareness and empowers them to manage their own thoughts, feelings, and emotions to foster healthy relationships in the future, leading to a meaningful and rich life.

Frieda believes that people are impacted by difficult childhood events, memories, and relationships. This impact can stop people from moving forward in life to reach their goals and achieving their true potential. With gentle guidance and therapeutic interventions, Frieda helps clients to resolve unhelpful memories from the past by supporting clients in the present so that they can find a positive future. Frieda is a client-led counsellor who uses an integrative approach to counselling from a number of evidence- based therapies dependent on the individual’s needs. These therapies include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment- Based Therapy, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and Gottman.
