About Fariba

Fariba Mim is a clinical psychotherapist with eight years' experience based in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety and relationship strain. She also supports those coping with family and parenting challenges and major life changes.

Fariba uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sessions centre on understanding what matters most to the person and building on their strengths. She aims to make the first steps feel manageable and clear.

Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns, such as abandonment and attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress and intellectual disability. She also addresses problems like communication breakdowns, loneliness, guilt and shame, and navigating immigration-related stress.

People can expect straightforward conversations that clarify patterns and create small, achievable goals. Fariba places emphasis on improving day-to-day coping skills and developing healthier relationship habits. She invites clients to notice progress between sessions as part of the recovery journey.

Fariba holds PACFA, the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia accreditation. She offers therapy in English and Bengali. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online conversations

Fariba uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-life change. One approach she commonly applies helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and responding; this supports reductions in anxiety and clearer decision-making. Another approach emphasises building skills and routines that make daily life easier, such as stress-management strategies and step-by-step plans for parenting or relationship conversations.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there they decide collaboratively which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow quicker follow-up between sessions. It also supports shorter check-ins when people need a brief conversation rather than a full appointment.
