About Faith
Faith Chideya is an AASW social worker with four years of clinical experience in Australia. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and also helps with self-esteem, motivation and relationship patterns. Faith offers support to those navigating major life changes and the stresses of adulthood.
Faith uses a mix of practical talking and skills work. Sessions focus on clear goals, building coping strategies and noticing unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour. She aims to help clients identify steps they can try between sessions to test what works for them.
Her work draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment practices, attachment-based thinking and client-centred listening. That means conversations about thoughts and feelings, values-driven choices, and how early relationships affect current patterns. She also uses dialectical behaviour ideas for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when needed.
People who come to Faith often want help with work and study stress, relationship confusion, grief, addiction and managing mood. She also supports those dealing with caregiver strain, body image concerns, procrastination and money worries. Sessions tend to be practical and focused, while also making room for difficult feelings.
Her style is collaborative and direct. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Faith often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, identify what matters to them, and take small actions that align with those values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating. This approach helps people understand triggers, improve communication and change repeating patterns in relationships and self-treatment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Faith treats the decision as collaborative and explores which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She will check in and adjust the approach as sessions progress, combining techniques when helpful.
The biography does not list specific online formats. Confirm the available session formats before booking so they fit your schedule and circumstances. Practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions around study or shifts, shorter check-in meetings if needed, and avoiding travel time. Therapists who offer online sessions also often adapt exercises for phone or video so skills practice can be used between meetings.
