About Rebecca
Rebecca Fahey, BACP, is a counsellor and psychotherapist with five years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression and many related concerns. Rebecca sees people who are struggling with grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting pressures, anger and low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD.
Rebecca uses practical talking therapy informed by several approaches. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person’s own perspective, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thinking and test small, realistic changes. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills and psychodynamic ideas also shape her work when patterns from the past affect current relationships.
Much of her background is in settings that focused on addiction and complex mental health. She has worked in residential addiction services and in a secure psychiatric hospital supporting people with long-term conditions such as bipolar disorder, psychosis, personality difficulties and self-harm behaviours. That experience informs how she plans sessions and responds to crisis signs.
Her formal training includes a Foundation Degree in Integrative Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. Rebecca also holds certificates for working with people affected by addiction. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and follows its ethical framework.
In sessions she aims to help people identify what is making life harder, try out different ways of responding, and build skills for managing distress. People are invited to set practical goals and review progress as therapy continues.
How Rebecca uses therapeutic approaches online
Rebecca draws on Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the person’s experience and priorities, offering reflective listening and a space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments that can reduce anxiety and improve sleep or mood. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills may be introduced to teach distress tolerance and emotion regulation techniques that help in high-intensity moments.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss options with clients and agree what to try based on their goals, preferences and the issues they bring. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress and challenges become clearer.
The specific session formats available should be confirmed before booking. When arranging online work, consider how sessions will fit into everyday life - for example shorter check-ins can be easier on busy days, phone calls need less bandwidth, and video can feel more like face-to-face conversation. Rebecca aims to structure sessions so they work around routine commitments while focusing on practical steps for reducing social anxiety and related concerns.
