Rebecca Fahey, BACP

Rebecca Fahey is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She works in a warm, empathic way and aims to help people feel heard when life feels overwhelming. Rebecca holds BACP membership which signals adherence to the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists Ethical Framework.

She frames therapy around each person's unique experience rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Sessions focus on listening, making sense of difficult feelings, and finding practical steps a person can try between meetings. Rebecca uses conversations to uncover patterns and options that feel realistic for everyday life.

Her background includes a Foundation Degree in Integrative Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She also has certificates for working with people affected by addiction. This mix of study supports a flexible way of working with different concerns.

Rebecca has practised in residential services supporting substance and alcohol misuse and trauma and abuse. She has also worked in a secure psychiatric hospital supporting people with long-term mental health problems including bipolar disorder, psychosis, personality disorders and self-harming behaviours. Those roles included one-to-one and group work.

Clients commonly bring stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting strain, chronic health or pain issues, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Rebecca aims to help people find manageable ways to cope and to build clearer pathways through change.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The therapist gives space for a person to talk and follows their lead to build clarity about what matters. This approach helps when people feel isolated or misunderstood and want to explore personal feelings and values.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical tasks and simple experiments to test unhelpful thinking and to build new skills for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and coping with health issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss options and try ways of working together that match a person’s needs and goals. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work and caring duties, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when needed. For some people, remote sessions make it simpler to practice new skills between meetings and to bring real-life problems into the conversation.
