About Rebecca

Rebecca Fahey is a counsellor who focuses on listening and helping people make sense of difficult feelings. She uses a warm, respectful style to help people who feel unheard, overwhelmed or unsure what to do next. Rebecca holds BACP which indicates membership of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists.

She believes every life story is unique and pays close attention to each person's experience. Sessions aim to help people find their own ways of processing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain and jealousy-related worries. Rebecca also supports people coping with addiction, trauma and mood challenges such as depression and bipolar concerns.

Her training includes an FdSc degree in Integrative Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She also holds certificates for working with people affected by addiction. Her background includes one-to-one and group work in residential settings for substance and alcohol misuse and trauma.

Rebecca has worked in a psychiatric hospital and has experience supporting people with long-term mental health problems such as emotionally unstable personality disorder, psychosis, bipolar disorder, personality disorder presentations and self-harming behaviours. That work shaped her practical, down-to-earth approach to safety and coping skills.

In sessions she draws on client-centred listening alongside cognitive and behavioural strategies and solution-focused planning. Rebecca encourages small, manageable steps and practical tools for day-to-day life. Prospective clients should confirm current session format options before booking.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Rebecca uses client-centred therapy to prioritise the person's own perspective, offering space to be heard and to make sense of emotions. This approach helps people who feel stuck or misunderstood to explore what matters most to them.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, stress and some jealousy-related thinking that keeps problems cycling.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Rebecca will work with each person to decide what feels most useful, trying different techniques and adjusting them to fit goals and preferences. The process is about experimenting together and choosing tools that suit day-to-day life.

Practical benefits of online therapy should be confirmed with the therapist, as session formats are not specified in the biography. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family by avoiding travel time, allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day, and let people use video or phone options depending on comfort and bandwidth. Check current session options before booking to make sure they fit personal needs and routines.
