About

I help people heal, stabilize, and move forward with practical, faith-centered therapy and coaching.

-Trauma healing:
EMDR, somatic therapy, exposure therapy, and narrative therapy to process trauma safely and restore emotional stability.

-Neurodivergence and habits:
ADHD, OCD, disordered eating, body image concerns, and sustainable weight-loss support.

-Mood and emotional health:
Anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, stress, and overwhelm.

-Couples and marriage:
Premarital, marital, and separated couples. Support includes betrayal trauma, infidelity recovery, communication repair, and protecting the covenant of marriage.

-Children, parents, and families:
Child therapy, parent guidance, and whole-family counselling when issues affect the household.

-Counselling and support for pastors, missionaries, expats, caregivers, emergency service workers, and fellow therapists

-Vocational assessment and coaching with free ongoing mentorship opportunities

How sessions feel:

My sessions are an open space where you are safely heard, encouraged, and equipped. I show up as nothing but myself and expect the same from you. My approach is curious, comfortable, and caring. As a trauma-informed interventionist with multiple areas of speciality, I'm able to hear you, support you, and help you help yourself, with real clinical tools and sound-minded conversation.

I work with individuals age 9 and up, couples, and families (with children of all ages) across Canada, the UK, and abroad.

You can schedule your first session with me directly on my booking link: https://bookfarenzayda.janeapp.com/

Most Canadian insurance plans reimburse for services, but please confirm with your provider.

Faren Zayda Sojourner

MACP; C.C.C.; RP(Q)
Faren Zayda is a licensed counsellor, registered therapist, and life coach. True to her married name, she is a South African-born 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.
