Who We Support
Children
At the heart of FABIC’s philosophy is that each and every person is an Awesome, Amazing, Lovable being. Our counselling services for kids start with this foundation, and offer practical, evidence-based support that help children build confidence, understand their feelings, and develop practical skills for handling everyday challenges – whether it’s changes at home or school, making friends or behavioural challenges. Our highly qualified and caring counsellors hold a safe and supportive space to empower every child to reach their full potential.
Teenagers
Today’s teenagers face more challenges than ever before. Whether they’re navigating school pressures, friendship changes, the online world, family dynamics, or planning for the future, our counsellors hold a safe and relatable space that young people feel at home in. With guidance tailored to their individual needs, our highly qualified counsellors empower young people to confidently navigate life’s challenges and create strong, positive foundations for their adult life.
Adults of all ages
We partner with adults of all ages to strengthen life skills, enhance self-awareness, and support personal growth. Our counsellors help people live with greater purpose, fulfilment, and connection – addressing a wide range of concerns from anxiety, depression, family issues, to grief, loss, adjustment and more. Our counsellors provide a safe, personalised one-to-one environment that allows people to explore the challenges or blockages they are experiencing in life and realise their full potential.
