About Rebecca Fahey
Rebecca Fahey is a professional counsellor and psychotherapist who offers a warm, empathic, and personal therapy service. She approaches each person as an individual, recognising that no two life stories or emotional responses are the same. This outlook shapes her work - when people turn to family or friends they may not feel truly heard, which can leave them feeling isolated, vulnerable, and unsure about next steps. Rebecca focuses on creating a space where those feelings can be explored and understood, and where the client’s own way of processing their experience becomes the foundation for change.
Her training includes a FdSc degree in Integrative Counselling - a foundation-level higher education qualification - and a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She also holds certificates for working professionally with people affected by addiction. Rebecca 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’s clinical experience spans one-to-one and group work, with roles in a residential setting providing therapy for substance and alcohol misuse, and for trauma and abuse. She has also worked for several 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. Her practice aims to help clients discover their own resources and work steadily towards positive change.

Integrative approaches for online support
Rebecca works with established therapeutic methods that suit different kinds of difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding from the client’s perspective, helping people feel heard and supported while they explore their emotions and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical tools to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns, often for issues like anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing strong emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing self-harming behaviours, which can be especially useful for people with intense emotional responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rebecca works collaboratively with clients - assessing needs, goals, and preferences - to identify which methods are the best fit and to adapt them as therapy progresses.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, offering flexibility in scheduling and the ability to connect from different locations. These formats allow registered professionals and therapists to provide consistent support while tailoring the way they work to each client’s practical needs.
