Rate Rebecca Fahey

Hello, my name is Rebecca and I am a professional counsellor/psychotherapist offering a warm, empathic and confidential therapy service.

My counselling approach is one which absolutely values, respects and appreciates that every person and their life experience is unique. No two individuals experience life and what it presents in the same way, which is a common misconception in the wider world. This may be why, when people seek help by sharing problems with family and friends they may not feel truly heard, which can leave a person feeling isolated, vulnerable and alone with their emotional pain, unsure of what to do next.

Numerous factors contribute towards who we are and how we are able to deal with the difficulties life may throw at us. It is important to realise that your problems, issues or concerns and the feelings and emotions attached to them are very much your own and so is your way of processing them. This is what you and I working together will aim to help you discover and work towards positive change.
