Rebecca Fahey, BACP

Rebecca Fahey is a professional counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who offers an empathic, respectful therapy service tailored to each person she works with. She values the individuality of every client and acknowledges that life experiences shape how people respond to stress, relationships, loss and recovery. Rebecca aims to create a space where someone who feels unheard or isolated can explore their feelings and begin to identify practical steps toward change.

Her training includes an FdSc degree in Integrative Counselling, a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, and certificates for working with people affected by addiction. She is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists - BACP - and practices in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework for Practice. These qualifications support a flexible, evidence-informed approach to emotional and behavioural difficulties.

Rebecca has experience delivering one-to-one and group work in a range of settings, including residential services for substance and alcohol misuse and trauma, and a secure psychiatric hospital offering support to people with long-term mental health needs. Her clinical background includes work with trauma and abuse, addiction, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, personality-related difficulties, psychosis and self-harming behaviours.

She draws on integrative methods to help clients explore their history, identify patterns, and develop new coping strategies for issues such as anxiety, stress, relationship problems, grief, parenting challenges, eating and sleeping concerns, ADHD and career-related pressures. Rebecca works collaboratively to help people find approaches that fit their goals and circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Rebecca Fahey draws on several well-established approaches to tailor online therapy to each person. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and supporting the client to explore their own priorities; it is useful for building self-awareness and improving relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be particularly helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Rebecca works collaboratively with clients to find what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. She combines elements of different models when appropriate so that therapy is personalised rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives and to accommodate different comfort levels with communication. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or work and allow therapy to continue even when in-person meetings are not possible, while still maintaining a professional, therapeutic focus.
