Fabian Wood

Fabian Wood is a UK-credentialed therapist with three years of professional experience. He holds an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a BSc in Psychology, and brings a thoughtful, reflective approach to his clinical work.

Fabian sees therapy as a kind of mirror that helps people begin to notice and make sense of their feelings - sometimes for the first time. He frames the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative process in which client and therapist work together to deepen understanding and support meaningful change.

His practice is adaptable to each person’s needs. While his foundational training is in the Person-Centred Approach, he has a strong interest in Existential therapy and uses CBT and DBT techniques when more structured coping tools are helpful. Fabian prefers to match methods to the stage of a client’s journey, offering flexibility as needs evolve.

He works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, abuse and loss. He has particular experience and commitment to addiction and recovery work - having served in multiple roles as an addiction counsellor for charities and within the NHS. Fabian has supported people at various points in recovery, from continued use through ‘just for today’ stages and into rebuilding a sense of meaning with an altered relationship to drugs or alcohol.

Fabian is also experienced in LGBTQIA+ work, having been a counsellor for an LGBTQ+ charity and supported people who are transitioning, exploring sexual identity, or facing identity-related difficulties. He identifies as an LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapist and aims to provide a non-judgemental, safe space for exploration.

He recognises that many men find entering therapy difficult due to social expectations that discourage emotional expression. Much of his work supports the development of emotional literacy so men can identify, unpack and explore difficult or hard-to-name emotions.
