About Rebecca
Rebecca Fahey is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years' experience. She supports people managing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression and grief. Rebecca also works with issues around career, ADHD, self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Rebecca uses a mix of talking approaches rather than a single method. Sessions focus on hearing the client's experience and working together to find practical steps forward. She aims to help people feel understood and to build skills for day-to-day life.
Her background includes work in residential treatment for substance and alcohol misuse, and supporting people affected by trauma and abuse. She has run one-to-one and group therapy and has certificates for working with addiction.
Rebecca has experience in a secure psychiatric hospital supporting people with long-term mental health problems, including bipolar disorder, psychosis, personality disorders and self-harm. That work involved regular therapeutic contact and practical care planning.
In sessions she combines client-centred listening with structured techniques when helpful. That might include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy strategies, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills, psychodynamic reflection or short-term solution-focused work. The aim is to match the style to what each person needs and prefers.
How Rebecca uses talking approaches online
Rebecca combines client-centred therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as core tools. Client-centred work focuses on listening and helping people make sense of their feelings. It suits those who need space to be heard and to reflect on their experience. CBT looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to manage symptoms such as anxiety or low mood.She also uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance when these are useful. DBT skills can help with intense emotions, self-harm behaviours and improving day-to-day coping. Together these approaches give a balance of listening and practical skill-building.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss options and make decisions with each person based on their goals and preferences. The first sessions often focus on what feels most pressing and which style of work suits the individual.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or travel, and can reduce time spent travelling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed and make it simpler to attend when schedules are tight.
