About Faith
Faith Chideya is an AASW social worker with four years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, depression and anger. She works with adults who are managing difficult feelings, relationship patterns, life transitions and motivation struggles. Sessions are offered in English and based in Australia.
Faith focuses on practical steps people can use each day. She helps clients spot patterns that lead to snapping, rumination or withdrawal. Conversations look at thoughts, behaviour and what matters most to the person. Therapy pays attention to how past attachment experiences influence current reactions.
Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. That means helping someone notice unhelpful thinking, practise new skills and make choices that match their values. Sessions also include skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when emotional regulation is needed.
Faith pays attention to a wide range of concerns beyond mood, including addictions, parenting strain, grief, body image and career stress. She also helps with issues linked to ADHD, chronic illness, caregiver stress and financial strain. These topics are addressed through clear strategies and problem-focused work.
Therapy begins with an assessment of what the person most wants to change. From there she and the client set practical goals and try out tools between sessions. Clients are asked to use a subscription model for sessions which can be cancelled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when anger or avoidance gets in the way of the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns such as rumination or quick temper.Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape current responses to stress and conflict. It supports people who find themselves repeating the same relational patterns or who become easily triggered in close relationships. Faith blends these ideas to match each person’s priorities and goals, and she works with the client to decide which approach to focus on in sessions.
Exact session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. The therapist uses online work to fit sessions into everyday life - for example sessions that can be scheduled around work breaks, shorter check-ins for busy weeks, or approaches that focus on between-session practice. The collaborative process begins with a short questionnaire and an initial appointment to establish what will work best for the individual.
