About Farideh
Farideh Azadpeima is a social worker and counsellor with a multidisciplinary academic background. She holds a Master of Social Work from Monash University, a Postgraduate Diploma of Psychology from Charles Sturt University, and a Graduate Diploma in Counselling. Her training informs straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family difficulties, trauma and depression.
She has more than three years' experience as a Therapeutic Intervention Practitioner. In that role she completed intake and assessments and provided brief counselling for a wide range of mental health and psychosocial concerns. She uses a trauma-informed, person-centred approach to guide her work.
Sessions with Farideh focus on practical steps. She helps people build resilience, identify coping strategies, and set small, achievable goals. Conversations aim to be clear, calm and useful for day-to-day life.
Farideh blends social work principles with psychological ideas and counselling techniques. That mix helps when problems cross practical and emotional areas, such as family relationships and ongoing stress. She adapts her approach to each person's situation and preferences.
Clients can expect straightforward assessment and collaborative planning early on. The emphasis is on what works now and what can be sustained. Her practice is based in Australia and sessions are conducted in English.
Approaches and how they work in online therapy
Farideh draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a trauma-informed, person-centred stance. A trauma-informed approach means paying attention to past harm and avoiding practices that might re-trigger distress; it helps when someone has a history of abuse or overwhelming events. A person-centred approach focuses on the person's own goals and pace, offering empathy and collaboration to build trust and clarify what matters most.These approaches are explained and chosen together. The therapist will check what feels helpful and adjust methods to match the client's needs, goals and preferences. Finding the right approach is seen as a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as attending from work during a break or avoiding travel time. It can also suit people who prefer a quieter check-in or shorter sessions when attention or energy is limited. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking; this helps ensure the session type will meet practical needs and time constraints.
