Rebecca Fahey

Rebecca Fahey is a counsellor with five years' experience who combines practical talking therapy with steady support. She uses an integrative stance that puts the person's own experience at the centre of sessions. Rebecca is a BACP member, and she aims to offer a warm, respectful space where people can feel heard and begin to make changes.

She believes every life story is different, so she avoids one-size-fits-all responses. Rebecca helps people untangle how past events, current stresses and relationships shape feelings and behaviour. That can include working through anger, anxiety, addiction, grief or difficulties with sleep and eating.

Her background includes one-to-one and group work in residential services for substance and alcohol misuse, and supporting people affected by trauma and abuse. She has also worked in a secure psychiatric hospital, supporting people with long-term mental health issues such as bipolar disorder, psychosis and self-harm.

Training includes an FdSc Degree in Integrative Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She also holds certificates for working professionally with people affected by addiction. Rebecca follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework as a BACP member.

In sessions she draws on a mix of approaches to match the person's needs. That may mean short-term problem-solving or a deeper look at patterns that repeat across relationships. The aim is practical change and clearer ways of coping with life events.

Rebecca works with issues ranging from stress and relationship problems to parenting strain, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. People can expect an approachable style and a focus on finding realistic steps forward.

How Rebecca's approaches can work online

Rebecca commonly draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and helping people find their own solutions through empathetic, non-judgemental conversation; it is helpful for building self-understanding and working through emotional pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, manage anger and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods so they fit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process and may change over time as issues evolve and progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It can also help people attend from settings that are more convenient, avoid commuting during the working day, or choose communication styles that suit them better such as talking without video if that feels easier.
