About Farideh
AASW-accredited social worker and ACA counsellor with three years' experience, Farideh Azadpeima works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. She combines social work, psychology and counselling training to offer practical support. Farideh draws on a person-centred, trauma-informed stance and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients manage symptoms and build coping skills.
Farideh completed a Master of Social Work at Monash University and a Postgraduate Diploma of Psychology from Charles Sturt University. She also holds a Graduate Diploma in Counselling. Her multidisciplinary studies inform how she assesses a person’s situation and plans short-term goals.
In clinical practice she has worked for more than three years as a Therapeutic Intervention Practitioner. That work included intake assessments and brief counselling for people with a range of mental health and psychosocial needs. She often starts with assessment and goal-setting, then uses focused interventions to address presenting problems.
Sessions emphasise practical coping strategies and building resilience. Farideh uses trauma-aware methods and keeps the pace guided by the person in front of her. She aims to clarify what is most pressing and to work through manageable steps towards improvement.
People choosing her often want clear, evidence-informed approaches rather than open-ended therapy. Her background supports working across social, psychological and counselling perspectives to respond to complex situations.

How evidence-based methods fit with online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical steps people can use in daily life. For example, brief behavioural strategies help identify and change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. These approaches teach simple skills such as activity planning, breathing and behavioural experiments to reduce distress.A trauma-informed, person-centred approach emphasises safety, pacing and choice. That means the therapist listens for how past experiences affect current problems and works at a pace the person finds manageable. The therapist and client then pick methods that suit the presenting issue and the person's preferences.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will review needs, goals and preferences and suggest techniques to try. This is a collaborative process and may be adjusted over time based on what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into work or family routines, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Choose a session style that matches your schedule and what helps you engage with the work.
