About Chaz
Chaz Fuda is a psychologist registered with AHPRA and has five years of professional experience in Australia. He has worked in clinical settings, hospitals, schools, child protection services, telehealth and home visits. He sees people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes.
Chaz has supported people presenting with trauma, PTSD, panic, OCD, insomnia, bipolar and psychotic presentations, and he has experience with autism and ADHD. He has worked with clients from different cultures, religions and gender identities and with a wide age range.
His practice is grounded in cognitive and behavioural ideas. He studies the foundations of these approaches and draws on the work of Aaron Beck and Albert Ellis. In simple terms, he focuses on how thinking patterns shape feelings and behaviour and on practical ways to test and change unhelpful thoughts.
Sessions tend to focus on clear problems and manageable strategies. He encourages critical thinking about difficult situations and practical skills to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. He also adapts his approach when a client needs a different way of working.
People often come to him when they feel stuck after a life change or unsure about their purpose. He offers straightforward discussion, behavioural experiments and homework-style practices to help people clarify options and try new ways of handling stress and relationships.
Approaches in online sessions and practical access
Chaz bases his work on cognitive and behavioural principles. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and gives practical exercises to test those thoughts. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic and social phobia and for coping after life changes.He also emphasises developing critical thinking skills about unhelpful beliefs. This involves learning to identify automatic thoughts, gather evidence for and against them, and try behavioural experiments to see what changes. Those methods can help with low self-esteem, impulsivity and decision-making about life purpose.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy itself. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That process is collaborative and can change over time if different techniques seem more useful.
