About Faith
Faith Chideya is an AASW social worker with four years of clinical experience in Australia. She supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem and complex life changes. Faith works with clients who want clearer coping strategies and steadier day-to-day functioning.
Her style is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that make distress worse and trying small, doable steps to change them. She uses evidence-based approaches to help people manage overwhelming thoughts and feelings and to rebuild day-to-day routines.
Faith pays attention to relationships and how early attachments shape current behaviour. That often means talking about communication, boundaries and how trust develops in close relationships. She also helps people work through issues such as abandonment, guilt, shame and isolation.
For worries about work, money or career transitions she offers concrete problem-solving and planning. When mood or energy are low she helps clients break tasks into manageable parts and build routines that support sleep and eating patterns. Addictions and coping with chronic illness are addressed with practical strategies alongside emotional work.
Sessions are collaborative. Faith supports clients to build skills from approaches such as ACT, CBT and attachment-based work, then adapts them to everyday life. To start, people complete a short intake and schedule an initial session to clarify goals and priorities.
How Faith uses therapeutic approaches online
Faith commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarifies what matters most, which can be useful for anxiety and life decisions. CBT focuses on identifying thinking patterns and testing them with small behavioural experiments to reduce distress and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate on what fits the client's goals, preferences and day-to-day circumstances. That conversation helps shape whether sessions lean more towards skills training, attachment-focused conversation or values-based action.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins between in-person appointments, and remove travel time. They can also help people keep regular momentum with homework and skill practice between meetings.
