About Chaz
Chaz Fuda is an AHPRA-registered psychologist practising in Australia with five years of experience. He presents a straightforward, problem-solving style that aims to help people untangle stressful thoughts and rebuild day-to-day coping. Chaz writes plainly and works to make sessions feel practical and useful from the first meeting.
He has worked in hospitals, schools, child protection services, clinical settings, online telehealth and home visits. That range means he has supported people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma-related concerns and a variety of life stressors. He has also worked with people who experience neurodiversity and severe mental health presentations, and with those from diverse cultural and gender backgrounds.
Chaz draws heavily on the roots of cognitive and behavioural therapy. He focuses on how thoughts shape feelings and behaviour and teaches people to test and reframe unhelpful thinking. Sessions include practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood and stress, plus exercises to improve problem solving and daily routines.
He describes his approach as flexible rather than fixed. While cognitive behavioural principles guide much of his work, he adapts techniques to suit individual needs and goals. Many clients find this mix of structured thinking work and practical life skills helpful when facing relationship strain, self-esteem struggles or major life changes.
Chaz pays particular attention to issues often raised by men, including isolation, identity and life purpose. He aims to create a calm, direct space where people can talk through worries, try new ways of thinking and build clearer plans for moving forward.
How Chaz uses cognitive approaches in online therapy
Chaz often uses cognitive and behavioural techniques that help people notice and change unhelpful thinking. This work focuses on identifying common thinking patterns, testing them against evidence and practicing alternative responses to reduce anxiety and low mood. It suits issues like worry, social anxiety and depressive thinking.He also emphasises practical coping skills drawn from behavioural principles. That includes building routines, graded activity to reduce avoidance, and step-by-step plans for managing stressors. These techniques aim to make small, manageable changes that improve day-to-day functioning and confidence.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose techniques that match the person's goals and preferences, and will adapt methods if something isn't helpful. Clients and the therapist check progress together and adjust the plan over time.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify exact online arrangements. Many people find online sessions convenient for fitting therapy around work, study or family life, and for reducing travel time. Others like shorter check-ins when they need a brief review rather than a full session. Discussing practical arrangements during the first contacts helps match timing and format to everyday commitments.
