About Rebecca
Rebecca Fahey is a counsellor who draws on client-centred care to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and loss. She works in a straightforward way and aims to create space for people to be heard. Rebecca holds BACP membership and brings five years of practice to her sessions.
She tailors discussions to each person’s life. Rebecca believes everyone processes things differently and that understanding a person’s story is the starting point for change. Conversations focus on what matters most to the individual and on practical ways to move forward.
Her background includes work in residential services supporting substance and alcohol misuse and in secure psychiatric settings. There she supported people with long-term mental health issues, including bipolar disorder, psychosis, and self-harm. This experience informs her practical approach to difficult situations such as trauma and complex emotional needs.
Rebecca uses a mix of approaches to suit the person in front of her. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour, and on psychodynamic thinking to make sense of past influences. Solution-focused strategies are used when people want clear, short-term goals and tools.
She also supports concerns around relationships, parenting, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem and career matters. Rebecca has specific experience with addiction, compassion fatigue and ADHD related concerns. Her aim is to help people find manageable steps toward greater stability and wellbeing.
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Rebecca uses client-centred therapy to focus on each person’s experience and to make space for them to be heard. This approach helps when someone feels isolated or misunderstood because it places their perspective at the centre of the work.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, mood and stress. Solution-focused ideas are used to set short-term goals and to identify small, achievable steps that move a person forward.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Rebecca will work with a client to identify which methods fit their needs and goals, and she adapts her style as that work evolves. The choice is collaborative and based on what the client finds helpful.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats Rebecca currently offers before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people continue support after a local change or when managing recovery from disaster-related stress, while the practical details of session length and timing can be arranged to suit everyday life.
