About Fabian
Fabian Wood is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, depression and related concerns including social anxiety and phobia. He also works with LGBT issues and matters linked to gender and sexuality.
Fabian describes therapy as a collaborative process. He uses reflection to help people notice patterns in their feelings and behaviour and then tests ways to change those patterns. Early in his training he worked with the Person-Centred Approach and he draws on existential ideas when exploring meaning and identity.
He also uses practical techniques from cognitive-behavioural approaches and dialectical behaviour ideas when people want hands-on tools to manage emotions or cope day to day. That mix means sessions can move between open conversation and concrete skills work depending on what is useful.
Fabian has experience working in addiction services, both for charities and within the NHS, supporting people at different stages of recovery. He has worked with clients who are transitioning gender and with others exploring sexual identity, and he describes this work as LGBT affirmative.
Sessions aim to increase emotional awareness and to build practical strategies for coping. People often bring issues around guilt, shame, men’s emotional expression, non-monogamous relationships, process addictions, smoking or vaping cessation, and relationship strain. Fabian speaks English and works from the United Kingdom.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Fabian combines person-centred listening with practical tools. The Person-Centred approach focuses on reflective listening and helping people to name their feelings; it suits people who want to explore identity, meaning and personal values. Cognitive-behavioural techniques break down unhelpful thinking and behaviour into smaller parts and teach coping skills for anxiety or cravings. Dialectical behaviour ideas offer emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for intense feelings and urges.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods to try first, then adjust as needs and goals change. That collaborative planning helps when someone wants either more talking or more skills practice.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Phone or video sessions can also suit different practical needs - for example video when visual cues help, or phone when a shorter check-in is preferred - so confirm which formats are available when you book.
