About Fabian

He works with those coping with depression and offers an affirmative approach for LGBT clients. Fabian aims to provide a calm space where people can begin to name and understand difficult feelings.
He uses a collaborative style that treats therapy as a shared process. Fabian often starts by listening and reflecting, like holding a mirror so clients can see patterns and feelings more clearly.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Fabian works from a person-centred foundation that focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can better understand their feelings.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and let you check in from different locations. Some formats also suit shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can help match the practical session style to what will work best for day-to-day life.
