Counselling & Therapeutic Support

Where presence meets
transformation.

It is a space to go to the places that matter — with honesty, compassion, and someone walking alongside you every step of the way.

Have you noticed yourself repeating patterns that are hard to change, even when part of you wants something different?

What if these parts of you are not broken — but protective?

So much of what we call coping began as adaptation — a nervous system trying to keep you safe.

In stillness, we become aware. In awareness, we begin to transform.

About

Still becoming —
always.

Over the past eight years, I've walked alongside people through some of the most tender chapters of their lives. I've worked with adolescents, young adults, adults, parents, and families across Sydney, Hong Kong, and Thailand, each bringing their own story, culture, and way of seeing the world.

Much of my work has been in the non-profit sector, supporting people experiencing mental health challenges, trauma, and substance dependence. Along the way, I've witnessed extraordinary courage, deep heartbreak, and the quiet strength that often emerges when people feel truly seen and supported.

Those experiences have profoundly shaped not only the counsellor I am today, but how I understand resilience, healing, and what it means to be human.

I believe in people who rise from their own stories — transforming pain into awareness, boundaries into freedom, and sensitivity into strength.

This space is open to everyone, though I hold a particular passion for women's empowerment and supporting trauma survivors. Neurodivergent people, LGBTQIA+ community members, and anyone who's ever felt too much or too different are wholeheartedly welcome. I say that as someone who understands that experience from the inside. I also work with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and BPD, and I'm always transparent when additional specialist support may be beneficial.

My approach is person-centred. I believe you already hold the wisdom and capacity for change within you, and my role is to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your own truth. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Compassionate Inquiry, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), adapting my approach to your unique needs. No single modality fits every person, every challenge, or every stage of life.

At the heart of my work is the belief that our struggles make sense when viewed through the lens of our lived experiences. Whether we're exploring trauma, dependence, uncomfortable emotions, or protective strategies that may no longer be needed, I don't see these experiences as weaknesses or flaws. I see them as intelligent adaptations, the ways a nervous system learned to survive. Together, we can meet those parts of you with curiosity, compassion, and understanding rather than judgment.

You do not need to arrive composed. You only need to be willing to begin.

Still Becoming was born from a lifelong fascination with what makes us human, and the courage it takes to turn that curiosity inward. I still do my own work — because I believe you cannot hold a clear mirror for someone else without being willing to look into one yourself. Healing is rarely linear; it happens in layers, in quiet moments — and it can begin exactly here.

Still becoming, always.

Hi, I'm Fabi.

Before I'm a therapist, facilitator, or mental health professional, I'm a human being navigating life just like everyone else.

Like many of the people I work with, I've experienced periods of uncertainty, loss, unexpected change, and moments when I felt disconnected from myself. Over time, I've come to understand that growth is rarely a neat or linear process. Sometimes it means starting over. Sometimes it means letting go. And often, it means finding your way back to yourself.

It was from this understanding that Still Becoming was born.

The name carries two meanings that are deeply important to me. Becoming reflects the idea that we are always evolving — learning, unlearning, making mistakes, beginning again, and discovering new ways of living with greater authenticity. I don't believe there is a final version of ourselves to arrive at. We are all a work in progress.

But Still also speaks to stillness, presence, and the ability to simply be.

In my own journey, I've learned that insight alone doesn't always create transformation. We can understand our stories, patterns, and even our wounds on an intellectual level, yet still find ourselves stuck. Often, we carry in our bodies what the mind has tried to make sense of countless times.

I've learned that meaningful change begins when we slow down enough to be present with our experience — when we move beyond living solely in our minds and begin listening to what our bodies, emotions, and different parts of ourselves have been trying to communicate.

Perhaps this is what Still Becoming means to me: the meeting place between presence and transformation. The ability to be with who we are today while remaining open to who we are still becoming.

My role is not to tell you who you should be. It's to walk alongside you as you reconnect with who you already are, creating space for change to unfold in a way that feels authentic, honours your story, and respects your own pace.

Still becoming, always.
