About Fariba
Fariba Mim is a PACFA counsellor based in Australia with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family and parenting challenges, and people coping with life changes. She offers therapy in English and Bengali and draws on practical steps to help people manage difficult feelings such as guilt and shame.
Fariba meets people who are overwhelmed by relationship conflict, parenting strain or the stress of moving through big life transitions. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them notice strengths they already have. Sessions focus on clear, manageable strategies rather than jargon or abstract theory.
She has experience with issues connected to attachment and abandonment, and supports people dealing with loneliness, emptiness, or caregiver stress. Fariba also works with clients affected by immigration, intellectual disability, autism and Asperger syndrome, and domestic violence, helping them address communication and practical coping needs.
Her style is direct and practical: she names patterns, suggests simple skills to try between sessions, and checks in about what is useful. People are invited to set small goals and review progress at a comfortable pace.
Fariba encourages people who carry guilt and shame to speak plainly about what they feel stuck on. She focuses on actions and thoughts that can be changed now, and on developing clearer ways to relate to oneself and others over time.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Fariba works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on observable thoughts and behaviours. One common approach she uses involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behaviour changes to see what shifts. This method is useful for anxiety, stress, and persistent guilt because it breaks problems into manageable steps.Another technique she draws on centres on attachment and relational patterns. It helps people notice how early or current relationships shape responses now, and supports practising clearer ways of asking for needs and setting boundaries. This is often useful for relationship strains, feelings of abandonment, and parenting conflicts.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Fariba will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, preferences and day-to-day life. She checks in regularly and adjusts strategies if they do not feel helpful.
