About Fabian
Fabian Wood helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and depression. He is a counsellor with three years of professional experience and holds an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy plus a BSc in Psychology. Fabian aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can begin to understand their feelings and take practical steps forward.
Fabian sees therapy as a collaborative process. He uses a reflective, person-centred way of working to help people notice what lies beneath their emotions.
Background and approach
He also draws on practical techniques when needed to manage distress and build coping skills. His practice includes focused work on addiction and recovery. Fabian has worked in addiction roles for charities and within the NHS, supporting people at different stages from active use to stabilising recovery and finding new meaning without or with a changed relationship to drugs and alcohol.
Fabian has experience with LGBT issues and has worked for an LGBT charity supporting people through gender transition and sexual identity concerns. He describes his approach as affirmative and aims to offer a respectful space for exploration. He also pays attention to men's emotional health and helping people develop emotional literacy.
Sessions can help someone identify, name and work through feelings they have been taught to ignore. Fabian tailors his approach as the work progresses so it fits the person's needs and goals.

Online support
He also draws on elements of dialectical behaviour strategies to teach emotion regulation and coping skills when strong feelings become overwhelming. These techniques offer step-by-step tools for tolerating distress and improving day-to-day functioning.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Fabian will work with each person to decide what methods fit their goals and preferences, and he adjusts the balance of reflective and practical work as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, live chat suits a quick check-in and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity and tailor contact to what works best for the individual.
