About Fabian Wood
Fabian regards therapy as a reflective process that helps people examine emotions and behaviours they may not fully understand. He views the therapeutic relationship as collaborative, working alongside clients to deepen self-understanding and support meaningful change. He tailors his approach to each person’s needs, blending different techniques to match where someone is in their journey.
His early training is in the Person-Centred Approach, and he also draws on existential ideas alongside cognitive-behavioural (CBT) and dialectical behaviour (DBT) techniques when more structured skills are helpful. Fabian has particular experience in addiction and recovery, having worked in charity and NHS roles with people at various stages from active use to sustained recovery. He has also worked with LGBTQIA+ clients, including those exploring gender transition and sexual identity, and he offers affirmative, non-judgemental support. He is experienced in supporting men to develop emotional literacy and to explore complex feelings such as guilt, shame, and social anxiety.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online support
Fabian often uses the Person-Centred Approach, which focuses on offering an accepting and empathic space so clients can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace - this approach helps with self-understanding and building emotional awareness. He also incorporates cognitive-behavioural techniques, which involve identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and developing practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress. When emotion regulation or distress tolerance is needed, he integrates DBT-informed skills to support coping and reduce overwhelming reactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Fabian works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and he adapts methods as therapy progresses so the plan remains relevant and effective.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and reach people who cannot attend in person. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow therapy to continue across locations, and enable different ways of communicating so clients can pick what feels most helpful for them.
