Faith Cummins, BACP

Faith Cummins offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stressful life moments. She writes plainly and listens closely so clients can talk through anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship strain. Her first aim is to make it easier to say what’s going on and to spot the patterns that keep problems repeating.

She uses a mix of approaches to suit the person in front of her. Client-Centred work means the person’s experience guides each session. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try small practical changes. Attachment-Based ideas help explore how early relationships shape present-day feelings and reactions.

Faith has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, chronic health issues, caregiver strain and identity questions such as LGBT concerns. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and blended family matters.

Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps and honest conversation. Expect a warm, non-judgemental stance and encouragement to try practical tools between meetings. The therapist aims to help people make small changes that add up to better daily coping and clearer choices.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability. Costs vary with location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Faith blends Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in ways that work well online. Client-Centred Therapy means the conversation follows the client’s concerns and feelings, with the counsellor offering reflection and gentle guidance to help people feel heard. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor discusses goals and preferences in the first sessions and suggests methods that fit the person’s needs. Decisions about which tools to use are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or health appointments. They can reduce travel time and make check-ins simpler on busy days.
