About Faith
Faith Chideya is an AASW social worker with four years of clinical experience in Australia. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain and relationship problems. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking to help day-to-day life feel more manageable.
Faith uses a mix of evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-focused approaches. In session she helps people notice patterns, try small changes and build new habits. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, addictions and identity issues including LGBT concerns.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. People can expect to talk through recent difficulties, identify what matters most, and practise skills between meetings. Work often includes learning ways to regulate mood, manage anger, and improve communication around family and parenting demands.
Faith also addresses longer-term struggles like abandonment, attachment issues, body image and caregiver stress. Practical topics such as money worries, career crossroads and midlife change are part of her caseload too. The aim is steady, usable change rather than quick fixes.
She offers sessions in English and does not take international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options through the site matching process.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small, values-led steps. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try new ways of relating to others and to themselves. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and provides practical exercises to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.Finding the best approach is part of the work. She will discuss different methods with clients and decide together what fits the person’s goals and preferences. That collaboration guides what is practised in sessions and what homework or skills are agreed between meetings.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around parenting, work and other commitments. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed, and sessions that focus on skill practice rather than paperwork. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt these approaches to suit everyday life and practical responsibilities.
