Chaz Fuda, AHPRA

Chaz Fuda is a licensed psychologist practicing in Australia and registered with AHPRA. He brings five years of experience working as both a psychologist and a behaviour support practitioner, offering a breadth of practical skills developed across multiple settings.

His work has taken him into clinical practices, hospitals, schools, child protection services, telehealth environments, and home visits. He has supported people presenting with autism, ADHD, depression, anxiety, trauma, schizophrenia, borderline personality presentations, PTSD, grief, bipolar conditions, insomnia, OCD, panic disorder, and a wide range of life stressors and challenges. He has worked with people across the lifespan and from varied cultural, religious, and gender backgrounds.

Chaz places strong emphasis on the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, informed by the historical and theoretical foundations of the approach. He values teaching critical thinking skills and helping people examine how interpretations of events - rather than the events themselves - often shape emotional distress. While his practice is primarily CBT-oriented, he remains flexible and adapts techniques to meet each person’s needs and goals, integrating behaviour support strategies when appropriate.

CBT-informed care and online therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. It helps people learn practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship difficulties by developing alternative ways of thinking and coping.

Behaviour support and skills training involve structured strategies to change specific behaviours and build day-to-day coping skills. These techniques are useful for managing impulsivity, improving routines, addressing social anxiety, and supporting people with neurodivergent presentations such as autism or ADHD.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Chaz works together with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, then tailors techniques to suit those needs. Licensed professionals often blend methods to create a plan that feels practical and achievable for the individual.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from a therapist without disrupting daily routines, and they allow for continuity of care across varied circumstances.
