Faye Noyland, BACP

Faye Noyland uses a practical, client-led style to help people move through difficult moments. She is a BACP counsellor with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Faye aims to make sessions straightforward and down to earth so people can talk about what matters to them.

She focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety and low mood. She also helps people dealing with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, and problems with sleep or eating. Other areas she supports include grief, self-esteem, bipolar, ADHD and coping with big life changes.

Faye works in a collaborative way. She asks questions, listens carefully and helps people set small, workable goals. Her approach combines techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to suit each person’s needs.

People can expect a respectful, non-judgemental space where their experiences are taken seriously. The therapist encourages clients to be active in shaping their sessions and to bring up what they most want to address. Progress tends to come from practical steps and honest conversation.

Faye has experience supporting issues linked to abandonment, attachment, body image and communication problems. She also works with challenges related to chronic illness, cancer, end-of-life concerns, first responder stress, HIV/AIDS and hoarding. This range reflects a willingness to address both emotional pain and practical life problems.

If someone is considering therapy, Faye aims to help them feel understood and to find actions that fit their day to day life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and move toward a life that reflects their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes by focusing on small, values-based actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical techniques to change patterns that keep problems going. It is often used for depression, anxiety and sleep or eating difficulties. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a structured approach used to reduce the hold of distressing memories or trauma symptoms by working through the memory network with guided processing.

Finding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods suit the person's needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process lets techniques be adapted as progress is made and priorities change.

Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and styles. Video is useful for a fuller conversational experience, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging formats can provide shorter check-ins or hands-on reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while still using ACT, CBT or EMDR where they are most helpful.
