Faye Noyland, BACP

Faye Noyland is a counsellor who uses a pluralistic approach to tailor therapy to each person. She works collaboratively with clients and encourages them to lead the process. Her aim is to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can talk honestly about what they are feeling.

With three years of professional experience she supports people through common concerns such as stress, anxiety and relationship issues. She also helps with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Midlife challenges and coping with life changes are among the areas she addresses.

Faye draws on practical methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice their thoughts and try different ways of responding. She also offers Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) for those working with traumatic memories.

Sessions are shaped around the client’s goals and preferences, so people take an active role in planning what happens between meetings. Faye emphasises clear communication and treats people with sensitivity and respect.

She works with concerns that range from grief, addiction and bipolar issues to eating and sleeping problems, chronic illness and pain, and career stress. Other focused areas include abandonment, attachment, body image and forgiveness work. If someone is ready to make a change she offers practical support and encouragement.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking small actions that line up with what matters. It can help with stress, anxiety and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and teaches practical techniques to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) works with traumatic memories by encouraging the brain to process disturbing events in a different way, which can reduce their emotional intensity for some people.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and the counsellor will collaborate with each client to decide what fits best. Decisions are guided by the person’s goals, current difficulties and their preferences about how to work together. This helps make sessions feel relevant and manageable.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week, reducing travel time and allowing check-ins during a shorter break. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find that remote counselling makes it easier to maintain continuity during life changes while working towards clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping.
