About Fay

Fay Wancke is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people through difficult times. She works from the belief that each person knows their own story and that therapy can help uncover strengths already present. Fay aims to offer steady support while people find practical ways to feel better and move forward.

She has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. Her work covers common concerns such as stress, anxiety and depression. Fay also helps people dealing with relationship difficulties, grief and problems with self-esteem.

Beyond those areas, Fay has experience supporting people facing issues linked to abandonment, attachment and body image. She also works with people affected by chronic illness, caring responsibilities, and the emotional impact of cancer. Adoption and foster care is listed among her additional focus areas.

In sessions she listens closely and follows the person rather than imposing a fixed plan. Fay looks for small, manageable steps clients can try between meetings. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s voice guides the work.

Fay invites anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed to consider a conversation about their next steps. She aims to make sessions a calm space for reflection, problem-solving and rebuilding confidence.

Client-centred support through online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so the client can explore feelings and find their own solutions. This approach is well suited to issues like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and relationship worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Fay aims to collaborate with each client to agree what feels most helpful. Together they review goals, try different ways of working and adjust the approach as progress is made.

If you are considering remote sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life and can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed and can be more practical for those juggling work or caregiving responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to maintain continuity of care and to offer flexible scheduling that fits everyday routines.
