About

Life’s challenges can often feel like they are distancing you from the peace and purpose God intended for you. Whether you are navigating the deep waters of trauma, seeking to protect the sacred covenant of your marriage, or managing the daily complexities of neurodivergence, you don’t have to walk that path alone.

I provide a safe, trauma-informed space where clinical science meets sound-minded, faith-centered wisdom. My approach is simple: I show up with curiosity and care, grounded, and as someone who has done the work, so that you can feel empowered to do the same. I don't just offer a place to talk; I offer a place to heal using proven tools like EMDR and exposure therapy, somatic therapy, reality based and experiential therapy, as well as narrative processing, all working from a Biblically informed and Christian perspective.

Specialized Areas of Care:

- Trauma & Restoration: Safely processing the past to restore emotional stability.

- Marriage & Covenant: Support for premarital, marital, and separated couples, including infidelity recovery and betrayal trauma.

- Neurodivergence & Habits: Specialized support for ADHD, OCD, and disordered eating.

- The "Helper" Support: Dedicated, confidential care for pastors, missionaries, first responders, and fellow therapists.

My sessions are an open, virtual space where you are safely heard and equipped. As a trauma-informed interventionist, I help you help yourself with real clinical tools and sound-minded conversation. I work with individuals (ages 9+), couples, and families across Canada, the UK, and abroad. * Format: 100% Virtual (secure video sessions)

Insurance: Most Canadian plans reimburse for these services (please verify with your provider).

Next Step: You can schedule your first session (with a 50% discount) directly through my website link.

Faren Zayda Sojourner

RP (Q); CCC; MACP
Faren Zayda is a licensed counsellor, registered therapist, and life coach. True to her married name, she is a South African dual citizen of Canada, now living and serving as a missionary in Ecuador. Her passion for mental health and wellness began in childhood, and over the past decade, she has worked with children, families, and individuals. For the last five years, she has also focused on helping couples build stronger, more intentional relationships.

At the heart of her practice is her walk with God. She believes the greatest gift is the ability to have a loving, redemptive relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. Her husband is a student-pastor with a deep burden for men's ministry - especially helping men break free from passivity, addiction, and resentment, so they can become examples of strength, freedom, and integrity.

Together, they enjoy adventure and a quiet, low-stimulus lifestyle, anchored in purpose, presence, and peace in their walk with God.
