About Fay

Fay Wancke is a counsellor registered with the BACP in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Fay focuses on clear, practical conversation and steady support during difficult moments.

She uses a client-centred approach that treats the person as the expert on their own life. Sessions aim to make space for a client's thoughts and feelings, and to help them notice their strengths. Fay listens and reflects, then helps people try strategies that fit their daily life.

In practice she talks through immediate worries and works on longer-term concerns. That can include building confidence, facing fears around social situations, improving communication, or finding ways to cope after a loss. She offers steady feedback and simple tools to use between sessions.

Fay has worked across a range of issues such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, chronic illness and caring responsibilities, body image, and adjustment after major life events. Her experience also covers issues like divorce, domestic violence, control and commitment concerns, and challenges linked to ageing.

People meet Fay to talk honestly about what worries them and to try practical changes over time. To start, a straightforward matching process helps connect someone to her and schedule an initial session.

Client-centred work and online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects back what she hears and follows the client’s pace. This approach helps with issues like anxiety, low self-esteem and grief by building clearer self-understanding and practical next steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Fay will discuss what feels most useful, try methods that fit the person’s aims, and adjust based on how things are going. That makes decisions collaborative rather than decided in advance.

Check the current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or caring responsibilities, reduce time spent travelling, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. For example, some people prefer video when they want face-to-face contact, while others use audio for lower bandwidth or for brief reviews. Registered or accredited professionals on the platform can help match session style to a person’s circumstances and goals.
