Rebecca Fahey

Rebecca Fahey is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to make people feel heard and understood. She combines practical therapy methods with gentle listening to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems and grief. Rebecca works in English and brings five years of professional experience to her sessions.

She explains things simply and focuses on each person’s unique story. In sessions she will listen, reflect what she hears and help people notice patterns that keep causing pain. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work are used alongside longer-term ways of thinking about past experiences and attachment.

Rebecca has practised in a range of settings. She has offered one-to-one and group therapy in residential services for substance and alcohol misuse. She has also worked in a secure psychiatric hospital supporting people with long-term mental health difficulties including bipolar disorder, psychosis and self-harming behaviours.

Her training includes a Foundation Degree in Integrative Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, BACP, and follows their ethical framework.

Sessions aim to help people cope with depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, eating or sleeping difficulties, parenting strains and career stress. Rebecca’s way of working is collaborative and grounded in everyday language, so people can take steps that feel manageable in day-to-day life.

How therapeutic approaches work in online counselling

Rebecca uses person-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural therapy and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions, which can ease feelings of isolation. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments to change them, useful for anxiety, depression and stress. Dialectical behaviour therapy offers skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and clearer communication, which can help with strong emotions and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work in therapy. Rebecca will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped in the past, and she will work with the person to choose methods that feel most useful. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when required. It also means practical tools and coping strategies can be practised in everyday environments, helping people apply what they discuss between appointments.
