About Faith
Faith Chideya is an AASW social worker with four years' experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression and major life changes. She uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help clients find more balance. Sessions are meant to feel supportive and non-judgemental so people can talk about what matters most to them.
Faith focuses on problems like stress, trauma, low self-esteem and motivation. She also helps with relationship and communication difficulties, sleep and eating concerns, addictions, and financial stress. Money and financial issues are included among the areas she addresses when they affect wellbeing.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She works with each person to build insight, strengthen coping strategies, and set realistic goals. Practical strategies are mixed with space to reflect on emotions and patterns that keep someone stuck.
Faith draws on a mix of approaches to suit the person's needs, including acceptance-based work, attachment-focused thinking, client-centred listening, cognitive strategies and skills for emotional regulation. She aims for change that feels manageable and sustainable in everyday life.
People who book with Faith can expect clear steps and tasks between sessions as needed. If you want someone who listens closely and helps you make practical shifts, she aims to guide that process with patience and practical focus.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them, then commit to actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, depression and life-direction problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people understand and change how they relate to others and manage strong emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviours, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and problem habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not detailed here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It also lets people use written worksheets, screen-sharing for exercises, and short skill-practice between sessions to support progress.
