Faith Cummins, BACP

Faith Cummins is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures and grief. Faith also lists areas such as trauma, addiction, ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, and intimacy-related concerns.

Faith writes plainly with people who feel stuck or overwhelmed in mind. She helps clients talk through recent losses, relationship breakdowns, workplace dissatisfaction, and the repeated patterns that leave them numb or anxious. Sessions aim to unpack what keeps those patterns in place and identify small, manageable changes.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas alongside client-centred listening and practical cognitive behavioural techniques. That means time is spent exploring how past relationships affect present reactions, while also trying out concrete ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Motivational interviewing supports people who want to make difficult changes, such as with addiction or motivation to alter routines.

Faith works in straightforward language and focuses on what people say is happening in their day-to-day lives. She pays attention to family and parenting issues as described by the individual, and to related topics like abandonment, blended family dynamics and caregiving stress.

People who prefer a reflective but practical style may find this approach helpful. The first sessions usually cover what matters most right now and agree on achievable steps to try before the next appointment.
