Faith Chideya, AASW

Faith Chideya is an AASW social worker with four years of clinical experience. She supports people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, or big life changes. Her work is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more able to manage day-to-day life.

She offers online sessions that are intentional and tailored to each person. Sessions focus on building coping skills, clarifying values, and breaking unhelpful patterns. Faith uses clear, collaborative conversation rather than jargon, so people understand the steps they can try between sessions.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused ideas, and cognitive work. She blends these methods to suit the person in front of her, matching techniques to each person's goals and challenges. This mix helps with issues such as relationship patterns, self-esteem, grief, and midlife concerns.

Faith also supports people working through stress from caregiving, chronic illness, money worries, and workplace burnout. She talks through practical strategies for sleep, mood, and impulse control while attending to deeper relational patterns that often underlie recurring problems.

People who choose Faith often want a collaborative counsellor who offers straightforward tools and a steady therapeutic presence. If someone wants help sorting priorities, managing strong emotions, or finding purpose in the middle years, she can help map a way forward.

How Faith’s approaches work in online sessions

The work often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas alongside cognitive techniques. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to you and learning small actions that align with those values, which can help when life feels unsettled. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and emotional patterns, useful for repeating relationship struggles or feelings of abandonment. Cognitive techniques help identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns that feed anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will ask about goals, what has helped before, and daily routines, then suggest a blend of methods. Clients are invited to try different strategies and feedback shapes the plan as therapy progresses.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so appointments can happen between other commitments.
