Rebecca Fahey , BACP

Rebecca Fahey is a professional counsellor and psychotherapist who offers a warm, empathic and personal therapy service. She approaches each person as an individual, acknowledging that no two people experience life or its challenges in the same way. Rebecca emphasizes the importance of being truly heard and aims to create a space where people who have felt isolated or misunderstood can explore their feelings and begin to move toward positive change.

Her training includes an FdSc degree in Integrative Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, along with certificates for working with people affected by addiction. She is a member of the BACP - the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists - and works in line with the BACP Ethical Framework for Practice.

Rebecca has provided one-to-one and group therapy in a range of settings. She has experience working in residential services offering support for substance and alcohol misuse and for people affected by trauma and abuse. She has also worked for numerous years in a secure psychiatric hospital, supporting people with long-term mental health difficulties including EUPD, psychosis, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, schizophrenia and self-harming behaviours. Throughout her work she aims to help people discover their own ways of processing experience and to collaborate with them toward lasting, meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Delivery

Rebecca Fahey draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) as part of her clinical toolkit. Client-centered therapy focuses on building an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship to help people explore their own values and choices and is helpful for issues related to self-esteem, relationships and life transitions. CBT is a structured approach that looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood or unhelpful coping. DBT combines acceptance and change strategies and provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for self-harm behaviors and emotionally unstable patterns.

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

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - make it possible to access consistent care with more flexibility. These options can reduce travel time, fit work or family schedules more easily, and allow people to engage from familiar surroundings while working with licensed professionals and therapists to address their concerns.
