Faye Noyland

Faye Noyland is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and difficulties with motivation and confidence. Sessions are described as collaborative and client-led, with an emphasis on respect and sensitivity.

Faye uses a pluralistic style, which means she draws on several approaches and works with clients to decide what fits best. She encourages people to take an active role in sessions and says no one knows their experience better than they do. This makes therapy a team effort rather than a lecture.

In practical terms she helps people talk through immediate problems and set small, manageable goals. That may include working on coping with life changes, addressing sleep or eating difficulties, or exploring intimacy-related concerns. She also works with people dealing with grief, addiction, chronic illness, and issues connected to attachment and abandonment.

Her approach can include techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when appropriate. Faye frames these tools as part of a shared decision about what will help most in the short and medium term.

People who are unsure what to try next often start by describing the most pressing problem. From there she and the client agree on a plan and practical steps to review between sessions. This straightforward way of working aims to keep sessions focused and useful.

How ACT, CBT and EMDR can work over video or phone

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and involves straightforward exercises to test unhelpful thinking. It is often used for stress, anxiety and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) focuses on processing distress linked to past events and can help with trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Faye describes a pluralistic way of working and will discuss which methods suit a client's needs and preferences. That means the plan can change as progress is reviewed and new priorities emerge.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, allow a quieter check-in when time is limited, and let people join from different locations. Faye aims to use approaches and session rhythms that fit into everyday life and the practical demands clients face.
