About Rebecca
Rebecca Fahey offers a kind, person-focused approach to counselling. She draws on five years of practice to help people talk through anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction concerns and stress. Rebecca uses clear, straightforward language and aims to make sessions feel manageable for someone under pressure.
She works from the view that each person's experience is unique. Sessions begin by listening closely to what matters most to the individual and noticing how they make sense of their feelings.
How Rebecca works
From there she and the client agree practical steps to try between sessions and ways to measure small changes. Rebecca trained with a Foundation Degree in Integrative Counselling and holds a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She is a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, listed as BACP, and follows its Ethical Framework for Practice.
Her background includes one-to-one and group work in residential services for substance and alcohol misuse, and in services supporting people after trauma and abuse. She has also worked in a supported psychiatric hospital supporting people with long-term mental health problems including bipolar disorder, psychosis and self-harming behaviours.
In sessions Rebecca combines person-centred listening with practical tools borrowed from cognitive and behavioural approaches and solution-focused planning. She aims to help people build coping skills, improve communication, and tackle problems such as sleep, eating, grief, parenting strain and work-related pressure.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online therapy
Rebecca uses a person-centred approach that prioritises listening and understanding the individual’s experience before suggesting paths forward. This approach helps people feel heard and sets the tone for collaborative work on issues like anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship concerns.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking and testing small behaviour changes to reduce distress. CBT tools can be practised between sessions and suit work on sleep, worry, eating and coping with life changes. Dialectical behaviour therapy offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance and reducing self-harming behaviours; this can be useful when emotion regulation and crisis coping are priorities.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan that fits a person’s needs and goals. This is a collaborative process that may combine listening, skills practice and short-term goals.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls provide face-to-face interaction, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day, live chat allows written back-and-forth in the moment, and text messaging supports short check-ins between appointments. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and other commitments.
