About Fay
Fay Wancke works from a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience first. She draws on three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom to support people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and depression. Fay frames sessions around the person's strengths and decisions, offering steady support while they consider change.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. She listens without judgement and encourages clients to make their own choices about their lives.
Background and approach
That practical emphasis helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to start. Fay also helps people managing grief and loss, and those who want to build self-esteem and motivation. She pays attention to how past attachment experiences and issues like abandonment or adoption shape present feelings.
She will gently challenge unhelpful patterns while keeping the client's goals in view. Her wider work has included supporting people affected by long-term health problems, caregiving strain and the emotional effects of serious illness. Fay is familiar with concerns around communication problems, commitment and control issues, and the aftermath of separation or domestic violence.
Sessions are conversational and paced to the person's needs. Fay aims to create a calm space where people can name their difficulties and try out different ways of coping. She supports clients as they take practical steps toward clearer choices and improved day-to-day functioning.

Approaches Fay lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Fay will work with each person to decide what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques or styles can be adjusted as things change over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer discussion is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let people pace their replies and fit counselling around work or caregiving commitments. These options help people access therapy from different places in daily life while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
