About Rebecca
Rebecca Fahey offers a counsellor-centred approach that places the client at the heart of therapy. She draws on person-focused listening to help people feel heard and start to untangle painful patterns. Rebecca holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings five years of practice to her work.
She aims to make sessions feel calm and straightforward. Conversations look at what matters now and how past experiences shape current reactions.
Background and approach
Rebecca uses practical tools and gentle reflection so people can try different ways of coping between meetings. Her background includes work in residential services supporting people affected by substance and alcohol misuse, and trauma and abuse.
She has also spent time in a supported psychiatric hospital supporting people with long-term mental health conditions including bipolar disorder, psychosis, personality disorder presentations and self-harming behaviour. Rebecca trained in an Integrative Counselling foundation degree and completed a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She also holds certificates for working with people affected by addiction.
Her experience includes both one-to-one and group work, which informs a flexible approach to sessions. In practice she combines client-centred ways of working with approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques, dialectical behaviour ideas and solution-focused strategies.
That mix lets her tailor sessions to what each person needs, whether the focus is anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, addiction, grief, ADHD or coping with life changes.

How Rebecca works online
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and experiments to shift unhelpful habits, and can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems and compulsive behaviours.
Dialectical behaviour ideas bring attention to emotion regulation and coping skills. They offer step-by-step techniques for managing intense feelings and improving communication when relationships or stress feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca discusses options with each person and adapts methods to their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client decide what to try first and adjust over time.
Many people find online therapy helps fit appointments into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and make scheduling easier around work or caregiving. Because the therapist's session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings will be arranged and which timing choices are available.
