Faith Chideya

Faith Chideya is an AASW social worker with four years' experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression and anger. She introduces herself plainly and listens first, so clients can say what matters most. Sessions aim to be practical and supportive rather than full of jargon.

Faith focuses on building everyday coping skills. She helps people identify unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding to emotions. Work often includes small behaviour changes, clearer communication, and setting achievable goals that fit real life.

Her style is collaborative and warm. She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioural ideas and acceptance-based techniques to make sense of thoughts and habits. Attachment-informed perspectives guide conversations about relationships and how early experiences shape current reactions.

Faith also brings elements from client-centred and dialectical behaviour approaches to help with strong emotions and impulsive reactions. That can include practical tools for distress regulation, improving self-worth, and managing compulsive behaviours.

People most often seek her support for grief, trauma, addictions, parenting strain, work stress, relationship troubles and identity questions. She encourages small, steady steps and checks progress together. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.

Sessions are offered in English and are based in Australia. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Faith draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT often focuses on small behavioural steps and tolerating difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful goals.

Attachment-Based Therapy informs how she talks about relationship patterns and emotional responses. That approach looks at how early bonds influence trust, closeness and reactions to conflict, and it can be useful for improving communication and connection in current relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process rather than a single decision. Faith works together with each person to test methods, check what helps, and adjust plans based on what the client values and needs. That collaborative process aims to fit techniques to the problem at hand rather than force a single model.

The biography indicates online therapy is offered but does not list specific formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can use tools from ACT and attachment work effectively in remote sessions to teach skills, set goals and rehearse new ways of responding.
