About Rebecca
Rebecca Fahey is a counsellor and psychotherapist who uses an integrative, client-centred approach to help people make sense of difficult emotions. She draws on talking therapy and practical techniques to help with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. Rebecca works in a straightforward, respectful way and aims to create a calm space where someone can be heard and begin to plan next steps.
Rebecca has five years of practice across community and clinical settings. She completed an FdSc degree in Integrative Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She is a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, BACP, and follows its Ethical Framework.
Her background includes one-to-one and group work in residential services for people affected by substance and alcohol misuse. She has also worked in a secure psychiatric hospital supporting people with long-term mental health problems including bipolar disorder, psychosis, personality disorder presentations and self-harm.
In sessions Rebecca blends client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive and behavioural methods, psychodynamic ideas about past experience, and skills-based work influenced by dialectical behaviour therapy. She uses solution-focused techniques to help people set short-term goals and notice progress.
Rebecca also supports people coping with grief, adoption and foster care related concerns, caregiving stress, body image and sexual intimacy worries. She pays attention to how attachment and abandonment issues can shape relationships and daily coping. Her style is calm, direct and grounded in real-life steps people can try between sessions.
How Rebecca's approaches work in online therapy
Rebecca blends client-centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to combine listening with practical change. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room, offering a non-judgemental space to talk and be understood. It helps when someone needs time to clarify feelings and make sense of their situation.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and teaches simple strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and coping with stress. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) contributes skills for emotion regulation and managing intense states, which can help with self-harm urges, strong anger or relationship volatility.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.
Confirm current session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that suit lower bandwidth or audio-only connections.
