About Fariba

Fariba Mim is a PACFA clinician with eight years' experience based in Australia. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family and parenting issues, and helps people cope with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Bengali to suit different speakers.

Fariba uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients notice patterns and learn new ways of responding. She encourages clear, practical steps people can try between sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small changes that make day-to-day life easier.

People come to her with worries about abandonment, attachment concerns, isolation or loneliness, and communication problems. She also supports those facing immigration challenges, caregiver stress, and issues linked to intellectual disability or autism and Asperger syndrome. Domestic violence, shame, guilt and struggles with life purpose are also areas she addresses.

Her approach treats the person as the expert on their experience. Fariba works collaboratively to identify strengths and to set achievable goals. Sessions tend to be straightforward and action-oriented, with an emphasis on clear steps and skills that can be practised at home.

She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary with location.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions

Fariba works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and clearer thinking. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and experiment with alternative responses to reduce anxiety in social situations. Another useful technique focuses on communication skills - practising small, specific ways to express needs and manage conflict in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Fariba discusses options with each person and together they choose what fits the person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client review what helps and adapt the plan over time.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work or family routines. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove the need to travel to an appointment. The therapist will explain available formats and help choose the most practical setup for the client's circumstances.
