Rebecca Fahey is a counsellor who blends practical therapies with a warm, respectful manner. She works to create a space where people can say what matters and be listened to. Rebecca aims to help individuals find clearer ways to cope with stress, anxiety, addiction and other difficult feelings.

She uses approaches that centre the person and focus on real-life problems. That includes talking through patterns that cause pain and trying small, manageable changes that make daily life easier.

Background and approach

Sessions often look at relationships, grief, self-esteem and difficulties with sleep or eating. Rebecca trained with a Foundation Degree in Science in Integrative Counselling and holds a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, BACP, and follows its ethical framework.

She also has certificates for working with people affected by addiction. Her background includes one-to-one and group work in residential services for substance and alcohol misuse and for people who have experienced trauma and abuse. She has worked in a supported psychiatric hospital supporting people with long-term mental health problems, including bipolar disorder and psychosis.

In sessions Rebecca combines listening with practical tools. She helps people recognise unhelpful patterns, build coping skills and make step-by-step changes. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs, whether the focus is parenting strain, career stress, or recovering from loss.

Rebecca offers therapy in English and works with clients in the United Kingdom. Her practice includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs.

How Rebecca’s approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities and experience, giving space to be heard and to make choices about change. It helps when someone needs understanding and a non-judgemental place to talk through feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving stability in daily life, which can help with self-harm urges, mood swings and overwhelming stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss goals and preferences and together they will try methods that suit the person and the issue. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs shift or new priorities emerge.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people see facial cues and keep a near face-to-face feel. Phone sessions suit those who prefer not to use video or who need a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, quick reflections between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it simpler to maintain steady progress.
