About Fabian
Fabian Wood is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. He holds an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a BSc in Psychology and works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction and depression. Fabian aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can begin to understand difficult feelings and situations.
He describes therapy as a collaborative effort where client and counsellor look together at what lies beneath emotions.
Background and approach
Initial sessions focus on building rapport and identifying immediate concerns. From there, sessions can shift to practical strategies for coping or deeper exploration of meaning and identity. Fabian trained initially in the person-centred approach and draws on existential ideas to help people make sense of their lives.
He also uses practical techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches and dialectical behaviour ideas when people want concrete tools to manage emotions or behaviour. He adapts his style to suit each person’s needs as therapy progresses. Much of his recent work has been in addiction services and LGBTQIA+ charity settings.
This includes supporting people at different stages of recovery from drug and alcohol use and helping those exploring gender and sexuality. He aims to be affirmative and open when discussing identity-related concerns. Fabian pays particular attention to men's issues and the challenge many men face in naming feelings.
He works to help clients develop emotional literacy, reduce shame and move toward clearer choices and better day-to-day coping.

Online support
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Fabian will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques over time. Sessions often blend talking and skills work so people get both understanding and practical tools as they progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal clues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflections and flexibility for people who prefer writing to speaking. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into daily life.
