About Rebecca
Rebecca Fahey is a counsellor with five years' experience helping people make sense of stress and anxiety. She offers a calm, warm presence and listens without judgement. Rebecca works alongside clients to explore feelings and find practical ways forward.
She uses a blend of approaches tailored to each person. These include client-centred methods that focus on the individual's experience, cognitive behavioural tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and elements of psychodynamic work to look at past influences.
Background and approach
Solution-focused techniques are used to build small, achievable steps toward change. Rebecca has worked in residential settings supporting people with substance and alcohol difficulties, and in a supported psychiatric hospital with long-term mental health conditions such as bipolar disorder and psychosis. She also has experience running group work and supporting people affected by trauma and self-harm.
Her qualifications include a Foundation Degree in Integrative Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has certificates for working with people affected by addiction. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Rebecca aims to help people feel heard, reduce overwhelm, and build skills they can use day to day.
How Rebecca’s approaches work online
Rebecca blends client-centred listening with targeted cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred work means she prioritises the individual's experience and responds with empathy, helping people feel heard and seen. CBT offers practical steps to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, sleeping or eating difficulties.She may also use elements of solution-focused work to set short-term, achievable goals and build momentum. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process - the therapist will discuss options with the client, weigh up goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video allows a more conversational session that mirrors face-to-face work, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits short check-ins or ongoing support between live sessions. These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, family or mobility needs and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
