About Faith
Faith Chideya is an AASW social worker with four years of clinical experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma and life transitions. She focuses on helping individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to make changes that last. Faith writes in a straightforward way and aims to make sessions practical and down-to-earth.
Faith offers online therapy that is tailored to each person. She works in a collaborative way and helps clients build coping strategies and clearer thinking.
Background and approach
Sessions are intended to be a calm place to talk about feelings and patterns without judgement. Her practice draws on systemic ideas about how relationships and contexts shape a person's experience. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches to help people notice what matters to them and improve emotional connection.
Cognitive methods are used when helpful to identify unhelpful thinking and develop new habits. Faith takes a culturally aware and person-centred stance. She supports people exploring identity, relationships, grief, parenting stress, work pressures and challenges like addictions or sleep problems.
Her work often focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions. Faith aims for clear goals and steady progress. New clients are guided through a short intake and a plan that matches their needs.
The approach is collaborative and paced to each person's readiness for change.

Online support
How Faith's approaches translate to online therapy
Systemic ideas focus on how relationships and everyday contexts shape feelings and behaviour. In online sessions Faith looks at patterns between people and the situations that trigger stress, helping clients identify small changes that alter those patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions based on personal values. This approach is useful for anxiety, low motivation and major life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early connection styles affect current relationships and emotional responses, offering ways to build safer emotional habits.Finding the right method is part of the work. Faith discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and together with the client decides which approaches to try. The process is collaborative and adjusted over time if a different focus would be more useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is often used for in-depth conversation and exercises, phone can be easier with lower bandwidth, and messaging suits brief check-ins or coaching-style support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other responsibilities while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
