Early training in the Person-Centred Approach shapes his way of listening, while he also draws on Existential ideas and practical techniques from cognitive and behavioural methods when they are helpful. This mix is used to help people cope, manage emotions and take steps forward. Fabian has particular experience around drug and alcohol addiction and recovery.
He has supported people at different stages, from active use through early recovery to building life without or with a different relationship to substances.

How Fabian works online
He also draws on cognitive and behavioural techniques that teach coping skills and strategies. These methods break problems into manageable parts and add practical tools for managing anxiety, cravings or low mood. Existential ideas are used to look at meaning and choice when people are questioning identity or life direction.
Finding the right mix is a shared process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which approaches suit their goals and preferences, and this can shift as progress is made. That collaborative choice helps match techniques to what a person actually needs.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time and allow for flexible scheduling. Different ways of meeting can support shorter check-ins, quieter conversations or hands-on skills practice depending on what the therapist is offering at the time.
