About Fabian
Fabian Wood is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT matters, relationships and depression, and uses a mix of person-centred, existential and practical techniques.
Fabian describes therapy as a way to hold a mirror to feelings so people can start to see what lies underneath them. He emphasises collaboration - client and counsellor work together to deepen understanding and make changes. Sessions aim to help people name emotions and figure out next steps that feel manageable.
His early training was in the Person-Centred Approach. He also uses elements of Existential Therapy and draws on cognitive and behavioural strategies when practical coping tools are needed. This lets him shift from reflective conversation to skills-based work depending on what a person asks for.
Fabian has worked in addiction services for charities and within NHS settings, supporting people at different stages of recovery from ongoing use through early change and longer-term maintenance. He has experience helping people with process addictions such as problematic pornography use, gambling or exercise, and with smoking or vaping cessation.
He has worked for an LGBTQIA+ charity and supports people exploring gender and sexual identity, including those experiencing gender dysphoria. Fabian also focuses on men’s issues, helping clients develop emotional literacy and put words to feelings that have been difficult to express.
Sessions are conducted in English from the UK. Before booking, people should confirm current session options and scheduling details.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Fabian draws from the Person-Centred Approach, which focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people name what they are feeling. This approach supports people who need space to make sense of emotions and personal values.He also uses Existential Therapy ideas to look at meaning, choice and responsibility in someone’s life. That style can help when people are facing questions about identity, purpose or change. When practical coping is needed, he applies cognitive and behavioural techniques to teach skills for mood and anxiety management, such as grounding, thought work and emotion regulation.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Fabian treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss options with each person to decide what feels most helpful for their goals and preferences.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work, study or family commitments. It also lets people choose shorter check-ins or quieter, more focused sessions without needing extra travel. Many registered or accredited professionals use similar arrangements to help therapy fit into everyday life.
