About Fabian
Fabian Wood is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He holds an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a BSc in Psychology, and he works in a straightforward, collaborative way. Fabian aims to help people notice what lies beneath their feelings and make sense of emotional reactions that feel confusing or overwhelming.
He focuses on anxiety, stress, depression and a range of addiction concerns, including drug and alcohol addiction and process addictions such as gambling and pornography.
Background and approach
He also supports people navigating questions of sexuality and gender, having worked with LGBTQIA+ clients and charities. Fabian uses a flexible approach that adapts to each person’s needs. His early training was in the Person-Centred Approach, and he includes practical techniques from cognitive-behavioural and dialectical approaches when useful.
That mix lets him offer both listening and hands-on coping strategies. He has experience working in charity and NHS settings with people at different stages of recovery from substance use. He aims to help people build emotional awareness, reduce harmful patterns, and find new ways of managing difficult urges or behaviours.
In sessions he aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through painful topics. Working together, he helps clients choose what to try next and adapts the plan as progress is made.
Approaches that help online and how they work
Fabian blends listening-led work with practical tools. The person-centred approach focuses on understanding a person’s experience by reflecting what they say and helping them feel heard. This can be useful for people who want space to explore emotions and identity without direction from the therapist.Cognitive-behavioural techniques look at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teach clearer ways to respond. These techniques are helpful for anxiety, social fears and low mood because they offer step-by-step coping strategies. Dialectical methods include simple skills for managing strong emotions and reducing unhelpful reactions, which can support people with addiction-related urges or intense distress.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. Fabian treats therapy as a collaborative process and will discuss options with each person. Together they agree which methods to try, review what helps, and adjust as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and practising skills in real time, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, journalling between sessions or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around day-to-day life.
