About Faith
Faith Chideya is an AASW social worker with four years of hands-on experience supporting people through anxiety, depression and major life changes. She helps clients who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. Faith focuses on practical steps and steady support rather than quick fixes.
Her approach centres on collaboration and straightforward conversation. Sessions aim to build coping skills, improve communication, and untangle relationship patterns. She draws on several evidence-informed methods to match the needs of each person.
Faith pays attention to how past attachment and losses affect present behaviour. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, caregiving stress, grief and identity questions. Topics such as self-esteem, sleeping problems, addictions and workplace stress are common in her work.
Clients can expect a calm and non-judgemental space to talk through hard things. Faith listens for what matters most, then helps set small, achievable goals. She encourages practical exercises to try between sessions.
Her style is warm and direct, with an emphasis on building skills that last. Sessions are tailored to each person’s pace and goals. The aim is clearer choices and more confidence when facing life’s difficulties.

Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts without letting them drive behaviour, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when anxiety, depression or life transitions make choices feel overwhelming.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand repeated relationship problems, abandonment worries and communication issues in order to build more helpful ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that feel like a good match. That collaboration means the plan can change as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives - they reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and can be scheduled around work or caregiving. The main practical benefit is flexibility to build therapy into everyday routines while working with an appropriately qualified therapist.
