About Fariba

Fariba Mim is a clinical psychotherapist registered with PACFA and has eight years of experience in Australia. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, parenting pressures and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Bengali.

Fariba sees people who are dealing with feeling stuck after a move, new job or relationship change. She talks through practical ways to manage anxiety and everyday stress. She also supports people navigating family tensions and the pressures of parenting.

Her approach treats the person and their circumstances together. She helps people notice patterns in relationships, including attachment and abandonment concerns. She also has experience with issues linked to autism and Asperger Syndrome, intellectual disability and caregiver stress.

Practical problem solving is part of how she works. Fariba helps people break down big problems into small steps. She focuses on communication skills and ways to reduce overload.

People can expect direct conversation about goals and next steps. She encourages clients to use their strengths while working through guilt, shame, isolation and the search for life purpose. The tone in sessions is straightforward and focused on concrete change.

How evidence-based techniques can help online

Fariba uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address emotional and relationship concerns. One common approach focuses on practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching step-by-step strategies for reducing symptoms and managing triggers. Another strand looks at attachment and relational patterns, helping people recognise how early experiences shape current relationships and offering ways to change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Fariba will discuss different ways of working and choose methods together with the client, based on the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide what feels most useful - whether short-term skills or deeper relational work.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, shifts and busy schedules, and it can allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also removes travel time and can help people maintain continuity of contact during life transitions.
