You could just add a count to the fields that you are fetching like:

$this->Foo->find('all', array('fields' => array('Foo.*', '(select count
(1) from bars Bar where Bar.foo_id = Foo.id) as bar_count')));

I use this approach both with fields and it can also be used with
conditions when you need to limit the results to rows that have (or
don't have) related items.
