Hello and welcome! My name is Chido, an accredited social worker based in Melbourne Australia. I’m a compassionate, person-centred therapist with experience supporting individuals across a range of life challenges, including health-related issues, relationship breakdown, domestic violence, sexual assault and abuse, drug & alcohol issues, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, infidelity, end-of-life counselling and bereavement.
I have a particular interest in working with young adults and young men and women, creating a safe and supportive space for growth, reflection, restoration and healing. My approach is warm, empathetic, and grounded in active listening — I believe that every person’s story deserves to be heard and valued.
As a Christian, my faith informs my commitment to offering care that is respectful, non-judgmental, and guided by hope and understanding. Whether you’re navigating a difficult season, managing complex emotions, or seeking clarity and confidence in your next steps, I’m here to walk alongside you with kindness, respect, and genuine support.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
