Fariba Mim

Fariba Mim is a clinical psychotherapist based in Australia with eight years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict and parenting challenges. She also supports those dealing with life transitions and related emotional concerns. Fariba speaks English and Bengali and meets people with respect and warmth.

Fariba believes clients are experts in their own stories and draws on people’s strengths. In sessions she helps clients break problems down into manageable steps. She focuses on practical ways to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve everyday relationships.

Her background includes eight years of professional work with people from many walks of life. That experience has included support for issues such as attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, autism and Asperger syndrome, intellectual disability, immigration-related worries, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. She also addresses communication problems, guilt, shame and forgiveness concerns.

Sessions aim to help people make clearer choices and find pacing that fits their life. Fariba encourages small experiments between sessions to try new ways of coping. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person needs.

Parents who feel overwhelmed by caregiving or the demands of raising children can find focused conversations about practical strategies. People navigating big life changes can expect practical guidance and steady support during transition periods.

How approaches shape online therapy

Fariba works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people build clearer routines and coping skills for anxiety and stress, using step-by-step exercises to reduce immediate overwhelm. Another approach concentrates on relationships and attachment, helping people understand interaction patterns and practise new ways of communicating to ease family or parenting tensions.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their situation, goals and preferences and then choose or adapt techniques together. This collaborative process aims to find what fits the person's life and keeps the work manageable.

Confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people join from a familiar setting and use different tools during sessions, for example focused exercises or shared worksheets, to practise skills between meetings.
