Fay Wancke uses a client-centred approach to make therapy feel straightforward and humane. She believes the person in front of her knows their story best and aims to create space for that to be heard. Fay is based in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience as a counsellor.

She holds BACP accreditation, which signals recognised professional registration in the UK. Fay supports people dealing with stress and anxiety, and she helps with relationship concerns and low self-esteem.

Background and approach

She also works with grief and depression, and with related issues such as motivation and confidence. Fay pays attention to how past attachments and experiences shape current feelings and choices. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and building on the client’s strengths.

Conversations are plain and direct, with practical steps when they are helpful. Fay aims to help people feel more able to manage difficult emotions and make clearer decisions about next steps.

She also has experience with a wide range of related concerns, including abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, ageing and geriatric issues, body image, chronic illness and pain, cancer, caregiver stress, and communication problems. Fay approaches each topic by asking what the person needs right now and responding without judgement.

People can expect a gentle pace and an emphasis on their own resources. Fay’s work is collaborative - she listens first and then helps people find ways forward that fit their life. If someone wants a straightforward, empathetic counsellor who values their perspective, Fay aims to provide that support.

Client-centred care delivered online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens with empathy and reflects back what matters most to the client. This approach helps people who are facing anxiety, low self-esteem, grief or relationship uncertainty to feel heard and to notice their own strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Fay will work together with each person to decide what feels most helpful, matching the method to their goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they remain practical and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversational experience, while phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are good for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life and to keep continuity between sessions.
