About Rebecca Fahey
Rebecca Fahey is a counsellor and psychotherapist who offers a warm, empathic approach tailored to each person's unique life story. She approaches therapy with respect for individual experience, recognising that people process challenges in different ways and that feeling unheard by friends or family can leave someone isolated and unsure how to move forward. Rebecca works collaboratively with clients to explore personal patterns, emotions, and practical steps toward change, helping individuals uncover their own ways of coping and build more effective responses to life’s difficulties.
Her training includes an FdSc degree in Integrative Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, as well as certificates for working with people affected by addiction. She is a member of the BACP, the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, and follows its Ethical Framework for Practice. Rebecca has provided one-to-one and group therapy in a range of settings, including residential services focused on substance and alcohol misuse and trauma, and a secure psychiatric hospital supporting people with long-term mental health conditions such as emotionally unstable personality disorder, psychosis, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, schizophrenia, and self-harming behaviours.
Her practice values empathy, practical understanding, and a personalised pace, aiming to create a space where people can feel heard, make sense of their experience, and work toward meaningful change.

Integrative approaches delivered through online therapy
Rebecca uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, non-directive space where the person's priorities and values guide the work; this approach helps with issues like relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, and navigating life changes by focusing on empathy and the therapeutic relationship.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; CBT is often useful for anxiety, stress, depression, and some aspects of addiction and sleep difficulties because it focuses on practical skills and structured ways to manage symptoms.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is another approach Rebecca integrates when needed, offering strategies for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness - tools that can be especially helpful for people who struggle with intense emotions or self-harming behaviours.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rebecca works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and responsive.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging add practical flexibility - they make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity when travel or health issues arise, and access support from familiar surroundings. Licensed professionals and therapists can effectively deliver these approaches remotely, offering the same focus on progress and practical tools as in-person work.
