About Faith
Faith Chideya is an AASW social worker with four years of clinical experience supporting people through anxiety, depression and trauma. She offers online sessions designed to be intentional and easy to fit into daily life. Her work focuses on helping individuals gain clarity and build coping skills that make everyday life feel more manageable.
Faith uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to guide conversations about difficult feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions are calm and direct. She helps people name emotions, notice patterns in relationships and decide on small, practical steps to try between meetings. Her style is warm and non-judgemental.
She listens closely and mirrors what she hears so clients feel understood. Together they set goals that suit each person’s situation, whether that means managing panic, rebuilding self-esteem or navigating grief. Faith also includes tools from cognitive behavioural approaches when a client needs them.
That can look like tracking thoughts, testing assumptions, and practising new coping strategies in real life. She aims for clear, simple strategies clients can use after the session ends. People seek her help for a wide range of concerns, from burnout and parenting stress to body image and life transitions.
Her online format offers flexibility through video, phone, chat and messaging so therapy can fit around work, family and other commitments.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with their core emotions and attachment patterns. In online sessions this often means naming feelings, tracking how they show up in relationships, and practising new ways of responding.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match personal values. Over video or phone, this can include simple mindfulness exercises and values-based goal setting to guide everyday behaviour.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections. The therapist and client examine recurring interaction styles and experiment with new, healthier ways of relating during conversations and between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and concerns and suggest methods that fit each person’s needs. This is flexible work and approaches may be blended as understanding grows.
Online therapy offers practical benefits like reduced travel time and easier scheduling during work or family breaks. Video calls are useful for richer face-to-face dialogue, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or written reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to practise skills in real life.
