About Fay

Fay Wancke works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and depression using a client-centred way of working. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Fay works on the issues people bring and follows their priorities in sessions. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and helps them use their strengths to manage current problems. Conversations are straightforward and focused on practical steps that make daily life easier.

She has supported people facing loss and bereavement, and those coping with low mood or anxiety that affects work and relationships. Fay has also worked with concerns linked to abandonment, attachment, adoption and foster care, and aspects of ageing and health-related loss.

Other areas she has experience with include body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication and commitment issues, and the effects of divorce or domestic violence. Sessions pay attention to how these problems affect everyday routines and relationships.

Fay aims to build a working relationship where clients can talk through what matters and weigh up options. She encourages realistic, step-by-step changes and helps people recognise what is already working for them.

To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The counsellor works from within the UK and delivers sessions in English.

Client-Centred work and remote counselling

Client-Centred Therapy is based on listening closely and reflecting back what the client says. The counsellor focuses on the person’s perspective, helping them clarify their thoughts and decide on next steps. This approach can help with stress, low mood, relationships and grief by making it easier to spot practical changes.

Fay’s way of working is collaborative. She will discuss different ways of working and agree what feels most helpful. Together they review progress and adjust the approach to match the client’s goals and preferences.

Practical benefits of doing counselling at a distance include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and avoiding travel time. If you are interested in online sessions, please confirm the specific session formats before booking as they are not specified here. Many people find remote meetings useful for keeping momentum between sessions and for shorter check-ins when needed.
