Rebecca Fahey, BACP

Rebecca Fahey draws on a client-centred way of working. She focuses on listening closely and helping people feel understood before suggesting practical steps forward. Rebecca uses familiar approaches such as cognitive behavioural strategies and solution-focused work to tackle everyday problems and longer-standing difficulties.

She helps people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those coping with addiction, trauma and relationship difficulties. Rebecca works with concerns including grief, intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem and career worries.

Rebecca trained in integrative counselling and holds a Foundation Degree in Science in Integrative Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes work in residential services and in a secure psychiatric hospital.

Her clinical experience includes one-to-one and group therapy in settings for substance and alcohol misuse, and support for people with long-term mental health problems. That work has included people affected by bipolar disorder, psychosis, personality disorders and self-harm.

In sessions Rebecca aims to make complex problems easier to manage. She combines psychodynamic reflection with practical CBT and DBT skills when helpful. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals and measure progress.

Rebecca offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging for people in the United Kingdom. Sessions are conducted in English and arranged via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. It begins with careful listening and helps people feel heard before exploring options, which can be especially useful for issues like relationship strain, grief and self-esteem. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Dialectical behaviour therapy offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping, which can help with anger, impulsive behaviours and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before recommending a mix of approaches. Together they will agree on steps to try, adjust methods if needed, and monitor progress so the work stays relevant to the person's life.

Online therapy with Rebecca is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for longer conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions suit people who need a lower-bandwidth option or a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let people write when it fits their day and review notes later. These formats give flexibility to balance therapy with work, family and other commitments.
