About Freya Bronwin

A therapist who gets it

I’m Freya (she/her) - a qualified psychotherapist & family therapist (Masters) living and working on Gadigal and Bidjigal land, in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. I work with a broad range of individuals and groups including athletes, teenagers, families, and founders. I’m particularly passionate about supporting people through and beyond injury.

As a runner and former competitive rower, I know the emotional toll of injury and pressure, and I also know what becomes possible when you have the right support. Reframe Sessions was created to offer that space, where performance and identity can be rethought, not just endured.

And like you, there’s more to me than running and therapy. I’m originally from the UK, and alongside my work with runners and everyday athletes, I also work as a Family Therapist with teenagers and families. In a former life I led teams at Google and the BBC. I’ve also worked with the suicide-prevention hotline Samaritans and in the NHS. All of these experiences shaped where I am today and what unfolds.

Why I do this work

I started Reframe Sessions because I saw first hand how much active people were struggling with the psychological side of injury and high expectations, without the right space to talk about it. Therapy with me is not about diagnosing you as the problem. It’s about unpacking your story, exploring what matters to you, and building stories, tools, and strategies that actually work in the messy middle of life.

You don’t need to be in crisis to start therapy. This is an opportunity to set yourself up for success wherever you are. A space to get curious about what makes you tick, reconnect with your values, and build trust in yourself and your capacity to steer a way through.

My approach (how I work)

Collaborative. Curious. Grounded in experience, not labels.

I draw on Systemic therapy, Narrative practices, Solution-focused therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Sports Psychology.

The different types of therapy can be very confusing, so if this means nothing to you, I remember that feeling too! If you’d like to discuss more, I’m happy to share my take. In a nutshell, the approach I take means we look at the bigger picture - not just what’s happening in you, but also around you. I am a great believer that everything we do, we do for good reason. I find that is a great place to get curious from.

Together, we slow things down, notice what’s shaping your patterns, and find new ways to move forward.
