About Fay

Fay Wancke is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to support people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and low self-esteem. She holds BACP registration in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience. Fay approaches sessions with respect for each person’s story and strengths. She aims to create a space where clients feel heard and can take the first steps toward change.

Fay believes people are the experts in their own lives and that therapy can help highlight existing resources. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on practical ways to move forward. She listens for patterns that make life harder, such as avoidance, control struggles or communication problems, and helps clients try different ways of responding.

Her experience includes supporting people facing depression, coping with loss, and dealing with anxiety and stress. Fay also works with concerns linked to abandonment, attachment issues, body image, chronic illness, caregiving strain and commitment worries. These areas are brought into sessions at the client’s pace and according to their goals.

In sessions Fay encourages small experiments and choices that fit daily life. She aims to empower people to build confidence and clearer boundaries. The focus is always on practical steps that can be used outside the room as well as insights gained within it.

To begin a conversation, Fay asks clients to reflect on what they most want to change. From there she helps set simple, realistic goals and reviews progress together.

How Fay’s Client-Centred Approach Fits Online Therapy

Client-Centred Therapy centres the conversation on what the person wants to bring to sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects back what she hears, and helps the client explore options at their own pace. This approach is useful for issues like anxiety, relationship concerns and low self-esteem because it lets the client set the priorities.

Fay aims to work collaboratively to find the best way forward. She will help you decide which techniques or focuses might suit your goals and preferences. Together you can try small steps and review how they felt, adjusting the plan as needed.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm available session types before booking so you know what to expect. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. Many people find that meeting remotely helps them keep continuity of care while balancing daily commitments.
