Becky Fausset, NCPS

Becky Fausset works from a person-centred, integrative approach. She draws on three years of counselling experience in private practice and decades of earlier experience supporting people in homeless services. Becky aims to create a calm space where people can speak openly about difficult issues and start to make changes that feel right for them.

She has particular experience supporting people with alcohol-related concerns, from those choosing to cut down to those aiming for sobriety. Becky also helps people manage stress and anxiety, and supports those dealing with depression and grief. Sessions cover trauma and abuse as well as a wide range of relationship and identity issues.

Her background includes 25 years working as a homeless support worker before moving into counselling. That work shaped her practical, down-to-earth way of talking about difficult topics. Becky brings that lived experience into the counselling room without judgement.

In sessions she focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship first. She uses an integrative style, adapting the way she works to suit each person's needs. This means conversations can be reflective, practical, or a mix of both depending on the goal.

Appointments can be arranged at flexible times to fit around work or family life. Becky offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what suits them best.

How Becky’s Approaches Work Online

Becky works from a person-centred, integrative framework. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening, empathy and the relationship. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to talk and be heard without judgment. An integrative approach means she draws on different techniques to suit the person - sometimes gentle reflection, sometimes practical steps to manage day-to-day problems.

She also offers practical support around alcohol use informed by her experience with sober coaching and working with people who want to drink more mindfully or get sober. This includes discussing goals, developing coping strategies and creating step-by-step plans that match a person's values and pace.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. Becky will discuss options with each person and adapt the way she works as their needs and goals become clearer. This collaborative process helps people try different ways of working and pick what feels most helpful.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when face-to-face conversation helps connection. Phone sessions are helpful if bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or busy schedules and let people work without being on camera. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work and family life.
