Fabian Wood, BACP

Fabian Wood is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience. He holds an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a BSc in Psychology. He works with adults carrying stress, anxiety, addiction issues, relationship concerns, depression and matters connected to gender and sexuality.

Fabian uses a clear, straightforward way of working. He describes therapy as a mirror to help people look at feelings they may not have understood before. Sessions are collaborative - client and counsellor work together to make sense of feelings and decide practical next steps.

His early training was in the person-centred approach and he draws on existential ideas when conversations turn to meaning and identity. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques when people want hands-on tools for coping and managing emotions.

Fabian has direct experience in addiction services. He has worked with clients at many stages of recovery, including those still using and those seeking to change their relationship with drugs or alcohol. He also has experience with process addictions such as gambling or problematic pornography use.

He has worked with LGBTQIA+ clients, including people exploring gender identity and sexuality. He describes his practice as affirmative and non-judgemental for those questions of identity. He also supports men who want help identifying and expressing emotions they have long held back.
