Fay Wancke, BACP

Fay Wancke works from a client-centred stance. She focuses on helping people make sense of stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and low self-esteem. Fay aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what feels hard and start to find direction again.

Fay has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as her credential. She believes people are the experts on their own stories and uses that belief to guide how she listens and responds.

In sessions she helps people name what’s getting in the way and draw on their strengths to move forward. Conversations focus on practical steps alongside understanding feelings. Fay works with depression as well as worries about motivation and confidence.

She also supports people facing issues connected to abandonment, adoption and foster care, ageing and geriatric concerns, and attachment difficulties. Other areas Fay has experience with include body image, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and the emotional impact of cancer.

Fay helps people affected by life disruptions such as divorce, separation, domestic violence, or coping with disasters. She listens without judgement and supports clients to identify changes they want to make. The aim is steady progress, not rushed fixes.

Client-centred care and online counselling

Fay practises client-centred therapy, which means she listens closely and helps people make sense of their own experience. This approach suits people who want a reflective space to talk through feelings like anxiety, depression, grief or relationship strain and to build on their own strengths.

The focus is on understanding the person rather than offering set techniques. Fay will work collaboratively to identify what matters to the client and what goals feel realistic. Together they decide how to approach sessions so the work fits the client's needs and pace.

If you prefer online work, confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. Some clients find it easier to maintain continuity of care when commitments change, and others appreciate being able to choose sessions that match their energy and concentration levels.
