About

Faren Zayda | Specialized Support and Intervention Services

In my practice, I don’t just listen but encourage and equip. My approach is highly practical, strategic, and experiential, designed to help clients walk away from sessions feeling heard, understood, and edified - with real tools and sound-minded conversation. Whether we’re addressing trauma, ADHD, relationship challenges, or emotional struggles, I focus on clear, actionable strategies rooted in both clinical evidence and Biblical truth.

Sessions may include guided EMDR, values-based decision-making, customized exercises, life-mapping, or spiritually grounded assignments - because true healing isn’t passive. It’s a journey of intentional growth, and I walk that with my clients every step of the way.

Why work with me?

• Affordable rates and transparent prices (available on the website and booking page)
• A Spirit-filled therapist committed to Scripture and integrating faith with psychological wisdom
• Global and multicultural experience - a dual Canadian-South African citizen currently serving as a missionary in South America; sensitive to issues like immigration, culture, and identity
• Known for warmth, empathy, and practical tools that bring real change
• I offer secure messaging between sessions, life strategy consultations, and mentorship for clients seeking deeper direction

Who I serve:

• Individuals (ages 9 and up) - children, teens, and adults
• Couples at any stage—dating, engaged, married, or separated
• Families

Areas of focus:

Structured Life Coaching, Christian Mentorship, Trauma Healing, Career/Vocational Counselling, Couples Therapy, Emotional & Mental Health, Neurodivergence Support, Family & Children’s Therapy, Pastoral & Ministry Care.

MACP; C.C.C.; RP(Q)
I’m a licensed counsellor, registered therapist, and certified life coach, true to my married name - a South African-born dual citizen of Canada, now living and serving in Ecuador. My passion for mental health and wellness began in childhood, and over the past decade I’ve had the privilege of working with children, families, and individuals. For the last five years, I’ve also focused on helping couples build stronger, more intentional relationships.

At the heart of my practice is my walk with God. I believe our greatest gift is the ability to have a loving, redemptive relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. My 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, we enjoy adventure and a quiet, low-stimulus lifestyle - anchored in purpose, presence, and peace in our walk with God.
