About Faith
Faith Chideya is an AASW social worker with four years' practice helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma and other tough life moments. She offers online care that aims to be intentional and supportive while focusing on what each person needs right now. Her style is warm and direct.
Sessions are a place to talk plainly about feelings, behaviour and habits that get in the way. She works with clients to build practical coping skills and clearer ways of relating to others.
How Faith works
Faith uses a mix of approaches chosen for the person in front of her. That can mean looking at thought patterns and behaviour, understanding attachment and relationship habits, or practising skills to tolerate strong emotions. She explains methods in simple terms and keeps the work grounded in everyday life.
She also offers coaching-style problem solving when people want focused help with goals such as career decisions, money stress or life transitions. Conversations can cover parenting strain, grief, addiction concerns, body image and many other issues on the listed focus areas. Faith aims to help clients notice what matters, try small changes and track what works.
Her sessions are collaborative - she listens, offers feedback and suggests practical experiments you can try between meetings.

Online support options
How Faith’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters and take small actions even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It is useful for stress, anxiety and when life feels stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating and can help with trust, abandonment worries and communication problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and is often used to reduce anxiety and shift unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Faith will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. She approaches decisions collaboratively and may draw on more than one method to match what the client wants to achieve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and exercises, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options help fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
