Rebecca Fahey , BACP

Rebecca Fahey is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist who brings warmth and empathy to her therapeutic work. She values the uniqueness of each person and recognises that life experiences shape how individuals understand and respond to challenges. Rebecca aims to create a space where people who have not felt heard by friends or family can explore their feelings and begin to find ways forward.

Her practice emphasises collaboration - working together to uncover personal patterns and to develop strategies for positive change. Rebecca has delivered one-to-one and group therapy and has experience in residential settings addressing substance and alcohol misuse, trauma, and abuse. She has also worked for many years in a secure psychiatric hospital supporting people with long-term mental health conditions, including emotionally unstable personality disorder, psychosis, bipolar disorder, other personality disorders, schizophrenia, and self-harm.

Rebecca holds an FdSc degree in Integrative Counselling, a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, and certificates for working professionally with people affected by addiction. She is a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), which reflects adherence to an established ethical framework for practice. Her breadth of experience spans stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, eating and sleeping concerns, parenting, ADHD, and many related areas.

Approaches and Accessibility in Online Therapy

Rebecca draws on client-centered therapy, which centers the person's experience and values empathy, active listening, and the client's own pace for change - helpful for issues where feeling understood and supported is central. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical approach that explores connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to address anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is another approach she uses for building emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can benefit people facing intense emotions or self-harming behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Rebecca works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time so therapy remains relevant and responsive.

Online therapy with Rebecca can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or other convenient locations and allow therapists and licensed professionals to tailor the format to what works best for each individual.
