Fay Wancke

Fay Wancke is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or relationship challenges. Fay also supports clients dealing with grief, low self-esteem and a loss of motivation.

Fay prefers a client-centred approach. She treats the person rather than a list of symptoms and follows the pace that each client sets. In sessions she listens for strengths in the client’s story and uses those strengths as a starting point for change.

Sessions focus on practical conversation and reflection. Fay helps people talk through what is blocking them, examine how they respond to difficult feelings, and practise clearer ways of relating to others. She keeps language straightforward and avoids technical jargon so the work feels down-to-earth.

Fay has also worked with issues linked to abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns and avoidant personality patterns. She has experience supporting people facing chronic illness, cancer, caregiving stress, body image and the practical fallout from separation or domestic violence.

People who choose Fay often want help sorting out next steps in life, finding steadier emotional ground, or improving how they connect with others. To begin, she asks clients to reflect on what matters most and what small changes could make everyday life more manageable.

How client-centred work translates to online sessions

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the work. In practice that means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and follows the client’s priorities. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns because it supports people to make sense of their responses and try different ways of coping.

Fay focuses on clear conversation and practical reflection. She uses questions and summaries to help people notice patterns and identify small changes. That method can help when you feel stuck about work, relationships or what comes next in life, because it highlights options you already have rather than relying on outside solutions.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy process. Fay will collaborate with each person to decide what works best for them, based on needs, goals and preferences. She checks in about the approach regularly and adjusts the focus as the work develops.

The original biography does not specify which online formats she offers, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow quieter check-ins that do not need long travel, and reduce time spent on logistics. Registered or accredited professionals can offer therapy this way while keeping the work focused on what matters to the client.
