About Fay

Fay Wancke works from a client-centred approach that puts the person at the heart of therapy. She believes people know their own stories and can draw on their strengths to meet challenges. Seeking support is a brave first step, and Fay aims to offer steady, practical help for those steps.

She helps people manage stress and anxiety and addresses low mood and depression in straightforward ways. Fay also supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief and loss, and difficulties with self-esteem and motivation. She uses simple, respectful listening to help clients find their own solutions.

Fay has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. Her background includes work with issues linked to abandonment, attachment concerns and the effects of adoption and foster care. She also works with people facing chronic illness, cancer, caregiving stress and the challenges that come with ageing and geriatric issues.

In sessions she focuses on understanding what matters most to the individual and on building practical next steps. Conversations are shaped around each person’s goals and strengths, not a fixed agenda. That means sessions can move at the client’s pace and address immediate problems as well as longer term concerns.

People who choose Fay can expect a calm, non-judgemental presence and help to clarify next actions. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel more capable and more in control of everyday decisions.

Client-centred care in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy is about offering genuine listening and respect while you make sense of your situation. The counsellor reflects what you say, follows your lead and helps you notice strengths you may be overlooking. This approach suits issues such as anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulty and the stress that comes with long-term health or caregiving roles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work you do together. Fay will collaborate with you to decide how to focus sessions, checking in about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. If something needs changing, she will adapt the way you work together so it better fits your needs.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time so you can use shorter breaks or an evening slot. Because the biography does not list specific formats, confirm current session options before booking. The emphasis is on helping therapy fit your life while keeping the collaborative, person-led approach central to the work.
