Rebecca Fahey, BACP

Rebecca Fahey is a UK-based counsellor and psychotherapist who offers a warm, empathic, and personal therapy service. She works from a belief that every person and every life story is unique, and she aims to provide a space where individuals can be truly heard and begin to make sense of their feelings and experiences.

Rebecca recognises that people often feel isolated when they cannot find understanding among friends or family. Her practice focuses on helping clients explore the factors that shape how they respond to life - acknowledging that problems, emotions, and ways of processing them are deeply personal. Working together, Rebecca supports clients to identify patterns, explore options, and move toward constructive change.

Her professional qualifications include an FdSc Degree in Integrative Counselling - a foundation degree focused on counselling practice - and a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She also holds certificates for working with people affected by addiction. Rebecca is a member of the BACP - the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists - and she follows the BACP Ethical Framework for Practice.

Rebecca’s clinical work has included one-to-one and group therapy, residential settings for substance and alcohol misuse, and trauma and abuse work. She has substantial experience in a secure psychiatric hospital supporting people with long-term mental health conditions including EUPD, psychosis, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, schizophrenia, and self-harming behaviours.

Therapeutic approaches for remote support and growth

Rebecca draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace and direction of sessions - this approach helps people who need empathy and acceptance while they explore personal concerns. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and works to build alternative patterns - CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Where emotional regulation and interpersonal difficulties are central, Rebecca can draw on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Rebecca treats this as a collaborative process - she will discuss options, consider a client's goals and preferences, and adapt methods to suit the individual's needs rather than imposing a single model.

Online therapy with Rebecca is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit around work, family, and daily life. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a registered professional without travel, and they allow therapy to continue when in-person meetings are difficult to arrange.
