About Rebecca

Rebecca Fahey is a counsellor who draws on several talking therapies to help people manage stress and sleep difficulties. She works in a warm, empathic way and aims to create a space where people feel listened to. Rebecca holds BACP, which is membership of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists.

She believes each person’s experience is unique and that this matters when thinking about change. Sessions focus on understanding how life events, relationships and personal patterns affect current problems. Rebecca aims to help people make small, practical shifts they can use day to day.

Rebecca trained with a foundation degree in integrative counselling and a professional diploma in therapeutic counselling. She also holds certificates for working with people affected by addiction. Her background includes one-to-one and group work in residential settings for substance and alcohol misuse.

She has worked in a secure psychiatric hospital supporting people with long-term mental health problems, including bipolar disorder, psychosis and self-harm. That experience informs a calm, steady approach in sessions. Rebecca draws on methods that help people manage emotions, reduce anxiety and improve sleep patterns.

Sessions are aimed at practical goals such as coping with grief, improving self-esteem, handling family and relationship stress, and managing life changes. People who contact her usually want clear, straightforward ways to feel better and to improve their day-to-day routines.

How Rebecca blends talking therapies for online support

Rebecca commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding someone’s experience, helping them feel heard and able to explore their thoughts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and may change as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports keeping continuity of care when someone cannot attend in person. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises for remote sessions so practical sleep and anxiety strategies are worked on in real life situations.
