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 allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
