About Faith
Counsellor Faith Cummins is a BACP member with four years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression, among other concerns. Faith also lists support for ADHD, addictions, LGBT issues, relationship and family concerns, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and anger.
Faith offers straightforward talking therapy. Sessions focus on understanding what you are experiencing now and how past events might link to present patterns. She uses talking methods that help people sort out feelings and start to try different ways of coping.
Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. She uses client-centred techniques to follow the client’s pace and concerns. Cognitive behavioural ideas may be used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours.
Faith names Jungian perspectives and motivational interviewing as additional ways to work with meaning and motivation where useful. These approaches can help with identity questions, difficult life decisions and motivation to change specific behaviours.
The first meetings aim to clarify what you want from counselling and to agree practical steps. Sessions are calm and practical, with an emphasis on clear explanations and simple exercises when helpful. To begin, use the site’s matching button and book an initial appointment via the usual process.
How her approaches shape online counselling
Faith uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships influence current feelings and patterns. This approach helps when trust, closeness or repeated relationship problems are part of what you want to work on. Client-centred therapy means the counsellor follows your lead and focuses on what matters most to you, useful for general emotional distress or when you need a space to think things through. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify upsetting thoughts and tries small behavioural experiments to see if different actions change how you feel.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options with you and agree what fits your goals and preferences. That choice is made together and can change as therapy progresses.
The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work and family life, reducing travel time and making it easier to keep appointments. Different formats may be possible but the profile does not specify which ones; please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful for shorter check-ins, quieter conversations or keeping therapy regular when life is busy.
