About Rebecca

Rebecca Fahey is a counsellor who focuses on helping people make sense of painful experiences. She works in a straightforward, compassionate way and listens without judgment. Rebecca holds BACP membership, and she brings five years of practice to her work in the United Kingdom.

Her approach starts with the person, not the label. She helps clients talk through stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and relationship difficulties. Rebecca also offers support for trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, and problems with sleep, appetite or self-worth.

Background and approach

Rebecca uses a mix of practical and reflective methods. She draws on client-centred listening to understand what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop coping steps.

Her background includes one-to-one and group therapy in residential settings for substance and alcohol misuse. She has worked in a supported psychiatric hospital supporting people with long-term mental health difficulties such as bipolar disorder, psychosis, personality disorder and self-harm behaviour. Rebecca has qualifications in integrative counselling and a professional diploma in therapeutic counselling.

She also holds certificates for working with people affected by addiction. In sessions she aims to help clients notice patterns, try practical changes and build day-to-day coping skills. To begin, she encourages a simple conversation about what is hard right now and what the person hopes to change.

From there she and the client agree on small, clear steps to work on together.

Ways of working Rebecca names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Rebecca combines practical approaches with online therapy

Rebecca uses client-centred therapy to prioritise each person's experience and what matters most to them. This approach means sessions begin with listening and understanding, then follow the client's lead to set goals and priorities.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small, practical changes. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and many everyday stresses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will discuss options and choose how to combine methods based on each person's needs, goals and preferences. This is done collaboratively so the plan fits the client and can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow a near face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or useful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging suit shorter, more frequent contact and may help people fit therapy around work or care responsibilities. These options offer flexibility in how and when people can access support.
