About Rebecca
Rebecca Fahey is a counsellor who works in a warm, empathic way. She uses a person-focused approach that aims to help people feel heard and understood. Rebecca holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. She has five years of practice experience in mental health settings.
Rebecca believes every life story is different. She listens to what matters most and helps people make sense of their feelings. Sessions focus on clearer thinking and practical steps that feel manageable day to day. This can help when stress, anxiety or relationship problems feel overwhelming.
Her background includes one-to-one and group work in residential services for substance and alcohol issues, and support for people affected by trauma and abuse. She has also worked in a secure psychiatric hospital supporting people with long-term mental health difficulties, including bipolar disorder and psychosis.
Rebecca draws on several approaches in her work. She uses client-centred ways of building trust, cognitive tools to spot unhelpful thinking, and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy to manage intense emotions. She also uses psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas when helpful.
People come to Rebecca with a wide range of concerns, such as codependency, addictions, grief, parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, or career stress. She aims to tailor each session to the person's needs and pace. To begin, a short matching process helps identify suitable next steps.
Approaches that guide online work and how they help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, respect and accepting each person's view of their life; it helps people feel heard and to build trust in the therapy space. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping, which can help with intense reactions and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk about goals and preferences, try methods that suit the person's needs, and adjust the plan as things change. Collaboration helps identify which ideas are most useful in everyday life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins or camera-free conversations when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and skills practice to online sessions so therapeutic tools remain practical and relevant.
