About Faye

Faye Noyland helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and concerns about self esteem and motivation. She uses a pluralistic approach that involves the client in decisions about therapy. Faye is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience.

She prefers to work as part of a team with each person. Sessions focus on talking through what matters most and choosing practical ways to try different responses between meetings. Faye draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance and commitment methods to help people notice thoughts and test new behaviours.

For those affected by traumatic memories she may use eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing to reduce distress linked to specific events. She explains options and works with the person to decide what to try and when. Work can include managing mood, sleep or addictive patterns, and improving communication in close relationships.

Faye has supported people dealing with grief, chronic illness, career stress, and issues around body image and intimacy. She also works with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood regulation, and the practical fallout of separation or bereavement. She is comfortable discussing problems linked to first responder work, illness, or end-of-life care.

Sessions are conducted in English and Faye accepts international clients. She asks people to be active in planning goals and reviewing progress so therapy stays relevant and focused.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values; it is often used for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical experiments and skills practice to change distressing patterns. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets distress tied to specific traumatic memories and aims to reduce the intensity of those memories over a course of sessions.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and explore which methods match a person's goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape the focus of online sessions and any between-session tasks.

The practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. If you are considering online work, confirm the exact session formats available before booking so you know how meetings will run. Many people find remote sessions help them keep therapy consistent alongside family, study or work commitments.
