About Fay

Counsellor Fay Wancke is a member of the BACP and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Fay focuses on helping individuals build strength and practical coping skills.

Fay uses a client-centred approach. That means she listens without judging and follows the pace the person sets. The work often begins by talking about what feels most pressing and noticing existing strengths that can be used in day-to-day life.

She has supported people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster-care matters, attachment concerns and avoidant personality patterns. Fay also works with issues such as body image, cancer-related distress, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and coping after separation or domestic violence.

Sessions typically focus on clear, manageable steps. Conversations cover thinking and feeling patterns, and practical ways to cope between meetings. Fay aims to help people better understand their reactions and make changes that fit their life.

Her background includes three years of professional counselling work in the UK and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. She asks people to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging a first session via the site.

Client-centred counselling and online sessions

Client-centred therapy places the client at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows the person's lead to help them understand their feelings and choices. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, relationship problems and low self-esteem by focusing on personal strengths and practical next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Fay will work with each person to decide how sessions should proceed based on their needs, goals and preferences. That discussion is collaborative and may change as the work progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It can also make contact possible for people who live some distance from practitioners. Registered or accredited professionals commonly offer online sessions, and Fay's client-centred method can be adapted to suit conversations held remotely.
