Counsellors & Psychotherapists

My therapeutic approach:

I work relationally and body-based, using Relational Integral Body Psychotherapy.
This approach integrates talking therapy with awareness of emotions, bodily
sensations, and nervous system responses. Our work focuses on creating safety,
building emotional regulation, and gently exploring patterns shaped by past
experiences. Therapy is collaborative and paced to support lasting, embodied change
rather than insight alone.

I work with individuals experiencing:
 Stress and overwhelm
 Anxiety and nervous system dysregulation
 Low mood and depressive states
 Difficulties with emotional expression and connection
 Relationship and attachment patterns
 The impact of past experiences and trauma
 People-pleasing, perfectionism, or emotional shutdown
 Feeling disconnected from self or others
 Challenges with boundaries and self-worth
 Repeating life or relationship patterns
 Feeling “stuck,” numb, or unsure how to move forward

Kristina Golub Fabris
Relational Integral Body Psychotherapist (EAP, EABP, IAHIP: expecting)
I work with adults who are experiencing stress, anxiety, low mood, emotional overwhelm,
difficulties in relationships, and the impact of past or ongoing stressful or traumatic
experiences. Many of the people I support feel disconnected from themselves or others,
carry emotional patterns from earlier life, or notice that they are coping on the outside while
struggling internally.
My approach is Relational Body Psychotherapy, which means we work not only with
thoughts and talking, but also with emotions, the body, and the nervous system. Our
experiences are stored not just in the mind, but in the body – in patterns of tension,
shutdown, anxiety, or emotional reactivity. In therapy, we gently bring awareness to these
patterns and support your system to develop new, safer ways of relating to yourself and
others.
Sessions offer a supportive, attuned relationship where you can explore what is happening
for you in the present moment, make sense of past experiences, and develop greater
emotional regulation, self-compassion, and connection. The work is paced carefully and
collaboratively, creating a sense of safety and stability as change unfolds over time.
Together, we focus on building a stronger sense of inner safety, increasing emotional
awareness, and supporting lasting change at a nervous system level – not just insight, but
embodied change that can be felt in daily life and relationships.

What is Relational Body Psychotherapy?
Relational Body Psychotherapy is a form of talking therapy that also pays attention to the
body and the nervous system.
While traditional counselling focuses mainly on thoughts, stories, and understanding what
has happened, body psychotherapy includes what you feel in your body – such as tension,
numbness, anxiety, tightness, or emotional reactions. These physical sensations often hold
important information about stress, emotions, and past experiences.
“Relational” means the therapeutic relationship itself is an important part of the healing
process. Feeling safely met, understood, and supported in a real human connection helps
create new experiences of trust, safety, and emotional regulation.
In practice, this means:
 We talk about what is happening in your life
 We gently notice what is happening in your body and emotions
 We work at a pace that feels safe for your nervous system
 Change happens not only through insight, but through new felt experiences of safety
and connection
This approach is especially helpful for people who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety,
overwhelm, emotional shutdown, or relationship difficulties, and for those whose struggles
feel deeper than thoughts alone.
