About Fabian

Fabian Wood is a United Kingdom based counsellor with three years of professional experience and advanced academic training, holding an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a BSc in Psychology. He also holds the BACP credential - the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists - which reflects his training and professional standing. Fabian frames therapy as a collaborative exploration that helps people look beneath their emotions to make sense of how they feel and why.

He adapts his approach to meet each person where they are. While his early training is rooted in the Person-Centred approach, he integrates elements of Existential therapy and practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when clients need hands-on strategies for managing emotions, coping with distress, or developing new skills. His practice emphasizes flexibility so that the therapeutic method can evolve as needs change over time.

Fabian has worked in addiction services across charities and within the NHS, supporting people at different stages of recovery from active use to longer term maintenance. He has also provided counselling for LGBTQIA+ clients, including those exploring gender transition or sexual identity, and offers affirmative, non-judgemental support. He is particularly committed to working with men to develop emotional literacy and to address issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and a range of process and substance addictions.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Fabian draws on several well-established approaches to support people online. The Person-Centred approach focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment where clients lead the pace of exploration and develop greater self-understanding - it is helpful for anyone needing a compassionate space to process feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, which can relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for managing intense emotions and reducing harmful coping strategies.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative part of the work. Fabian and each client will consider the person’s goals, needs, and preferences and adapt techniques as the therapeutic journey evolves, combining supportive listening with skills-based strategies when appropriate.

Online therapy with Fabian is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access registered professionals and therapists from home or other convenient locations while maintaining continuity of care and the ability to work consistently toward meaningful change.
