About Rebecca
Rebecca Fahey is a counsellor with five years' experience who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions and relationship concerns. She works with men’s wellbeing among many other areas and aims to create a calm, respectful space to talk through what matters most to each person. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds a Foundation Degree in Integrative Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.
Rebecca uses practical, person-focused work rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. Sessions aim to help people better understand their feelings and habits. Where useful, she draws on cognitive approaches to change unhelpful patterns, and on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences affect present life.
Her background includes one-to-one and group work in residential settings for substance and alcohol misuse, and therapy for trauma and abuse. She has also worked in a secure psychiatric hospital supporting people with long-term mental health problems, including bipolar disorder and psychosis.
In sessions Rebecca commonly addresses grief, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, intimacy-related concerns, anger and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with career stress, burnout and compassion fatigue, and those navigating major life changes.
Rebecca aims to collaborate with each person to set clear goals and small, achievable steps. She blends client-centred listening with evidence-based tools so people can try things between sessions. The emphasis is on practical change and on building coping skills that fit everyday life.
How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people feel understood so they can find their own answers; it is helpful for stress, low mood and relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours link and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression and coping strategies. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful for people who struggle with self-harm or extreme emotional reactivity.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to the person’s goals and preferences. Decisions about focus and pace are shared so the plan fits the client’s needs.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a working day. It also lets people use written or video-based tools between sessions to practise skills, and offers flexibility to schedule appointments around work or caring commitments.
