Rebecca Fahey, BACP

Rebecca Fahey is a counsellor who offers calm, practical support for people facing distress. She uses a person-centred way of working that treats each person as an individual. Rebecca draws on five years of experience to help people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addiction and grief.

Rebecca explains problems in straightforward terms and focuses on what feels most helpful to the person in front of her. She has worked one-to-one and in groups, including in a residential setting for substance and alcohol misuse. That work included supporting people who had experienced trauma and abuse.

She also has experience in a secure psychiatric hospital supporting people with long-term mental health problems. That has included work with bipolar disorder, psychosis, personality disorders and self-harming behaviours. Rebecca uses that background to inform practical strategies and steady support in sessions.

Her training includes a Foundation Degree in Science (FdSc) in Integrative Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She also holds certificates for working with people affected by addiction. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Rebecca helps people work towards change at a pace that suits them. She combines client-centred listening with approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques, dialectical behaviour ideas and psychodynamic reflections. She encourages clear goals and small steps that can be put into everyday life.

How Rebecca's approaches shape online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement, helping people feel heard and more able to reflect on their next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) brings in skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, useful for strong mood swings and self-harm behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and together with the person she will suggest which methods to try first. That collaborative process shapes sessions so therapy fits the individual's needs rather than forcing a single method.

Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific online formats. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer talking without being on camera or who need a quieter slot during a break at work. Ask about the available session types when you book so you can choose what will work best for your routine.
