About Faith

Faith Cummins is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, addictions and grief. She also supports people dealing with self-esteem, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strains and career worries.

Faith offers a straightforward, person-focused way of working. Sessions are conversation-led and aim to help people name what is happening for them. She listens to life circumstances and looks for patterns that keep problems repeating. Practical coping ideas are discussed when they are useful.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice, alongside cognitive behavioural strategies and motivational interviewing. That means she pays attention to relationship patterns, the immediate concerns people bring, and to thoughts and behaviours that maintain distress. Jungian perspectives may be used to look at meaning and personal narrative when relevant.

People often come to Faith when they feel stuck after loss, during a job change, when relationships feel difficult, or when anxiety and low mood make everyday tasks heavier. She helps people think through roots of their feelings and how to try different ways of responding.

Sessions aim to be direct and human. Faith encourages practical steps alongside discussion of deeper issues. The initial contact includes a short questionnaire and then arranging a first meeting to agree goals and what to focus on next.

Approach and what online sessions involve

Faith uses attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques to guide online work. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and helps people spot repeating dynamics. Client-centred practice focuses on being heard and understood, letting people lead the topics they want to work on. CBT involves noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes to behaviour, which can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. That conversation shapes whether more relational conversation, practical CBT tools or motivational techniques are used over time.

Session logistics and formats should be confirmed before booking, as they are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or busy days. They can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and suit people who prefer not to travel for appointments. Ask about current session options when you arrange the first meeting so practical details can be matched to your life.
