Counsellor & Therapist
Kia ora, my name is Fabian. I have a diverse experience of living between countries and cultures in Aotearoa New Zealand. I currently live in the Western region of Tamaki-Makaurau (Auckland) practising for the past 5 years with adults on their journeys with mental health. Previously, I have held roles as a wellbeing coach, community builder, teacher, designer, gardener, musician, nutritionist and chef. These add to a holistic worldview that informs how I practise my professional and personal life.
I have earned a place as a provisional member of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors with a Master of Counselling from The University of Waikato. So far, I have experienced over 750 hours counselling men and women. I work with individuals, and when they wish, with their partners, their friends and families too. I also work with groups and communities in educational and therapeutic settings.
In counselling, we will collaborate to resolve problems and improve the quality of your life. I work with adults of various backgrounds and ages for their mental health journey, improving their relationships or managing life transitions. This journey, which is no stranger to me, may include experiences of depression, anxiety, ADHD, low confidence, grief, isolation, old trauma, overwhelming stress and burnout. I am easy to get along with and I approach our sessions with warmness, sincerity, and when appropriate, with humour.
