Faith Cummins
Calm practical support for difficult times
About Faith
Faith Cummins greets people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure why they feel low or anxious. She explains things simply and uses a calm, compassionate approach. Her aim is to help people untangle difficult emotions and begin to make small, manageable changes.
Faith works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, compassion fatigue and issues around self-esteem, identity and addictive behaviours.
Background and approach
Additional focuses include attachment concerns, adoption and foster care matters, chronic illness, body image and communication problems. Her practice blends client-centred listening with practical tools. That means sessions begin by exploring what matters most to the person and then building on their goals.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when it helps to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. Faith also draws on attachment-based ideas and Jungian perspectives to look at how early experiences and personal meaning shape current patterns. Motivational interviewing is used to support change when someone feels unsure or ambivalent.
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated BACP, and has four years of experience. Sessions are offered in English and she works with international clients. Therapy is available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and then schedules sessions to suit their availability. Fees vary with location and on a subscription basis that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Faith uses client-centred therapy to place the person's concerns at the heart of the work. This means sessions begin with careful listening and reflection, helping someone name what matters and set achievable goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try practical changes in thinking and behaviour that can reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide what feels most useful based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. That may mean starting with gentle client-centred exploration, adding CBT techniques later, or mixing methods to suit the situation.
Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls are close to a face-to-face conversation and good for deeper exchanges, phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or demand less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins or when writing helps people think things through. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different time zones while keeping the focus on steady progress.
