About Fabian

Fabian Wood is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction and issues around sexuality and relationships. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to speak openly about difficult feelings and life changes. Fabian writes plainly and listens closely to help people begin to understand what is underneath their emotions.

Fabian uses a collaborative approach. He begins by reflecting what a person brings and then adapts to their needs.

Background and approach

Early work draws on the Person-Centred Approach to build trust and emotional understanding. He also brings practical strategies from cognitive and dialectical behavioural approaches when people want clear tools to manage strong feelings or cope day to day. He has three years of professional experience and holds an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy plus a BSc in Psychology.

Fabian has worked in addiction settings with charities and within the NHS, supporting people through different stages of recovery from substance use. He also has experience working with LGBTQIA+ clients, including people exploring gender and sexual identity. Common issues he helps people with include stress, social anxiety, depression, process and substance addiction, gender dysphoria, guilt and men’s emotional health.

He is comfortable discussing practical steps such as smoking and vaping cessation alongside deeper emotional work. Sessions are offered in English and arranged online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Clients who choose to start are matched via a short questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Fabian uses a mix of practical and exploratory approaches. The Person-Centred Approach focuses on open listening and reflection to help people understand their feelings and gain clarity about their choices. This is useful for exploring identity, grief, or when someone feels stuck.

He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques that teach clear strategies for managing anxiety, unhelpful thoughts and everyday stress. These techniques help with social anxiety, worry and low mood by offering steps to try between sessions. When emotion regulation is needed, dialectical behavioural methods provide skills for managing intense feelings and reducing impulsive behaviours, which can be helpful in addiction and crisis moments.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan as work progresses. This makes it easier to find what helps most rather than committing to one way from the start.

Online formats such as video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging make therapy flexible. Video lets people read facial expressions and body language. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit those who prefer writing or who want to fit brief sessions into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep continuity while balancing work, caring responsibilities or travel.
