“Your birdhouse to weather the storm”
Somewhere inside, the kid who danced in puddles is still waiting for the rain.
Sometimes life teaches us to suppress emotions, disconnect from ourselves, or survive by putting everyone else first. Counselling can help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that got lost along the way.
You may have found your way here because...
You feel stuck but cannot explain why.
You spend so much time meeting other people’s needs that you are no longer sure what you need.
You understand your past, but it still seems to shape your reactions, relationships or sense of self.
The same arguments keep returning in your relationship, even when you both want things to be different.
Or perhaps you are simply tired of carrying everything alone.
You do not need to have the right words before reaching out. We can begin with where you are.
Hi, I’m Fabian
I’m a registered counsellor based in Bannockburn.
I created Bird House Counselling to offer the kind of safe, real and non judgemental space I once needed myself.
My approach is gentle, reflective and practical. You will not be rushed, judged or expected to share anything before you feel ready. We begin with where you are and work together to understand what may be keeping you stuck.
Services

When the same arguments keep returning, couples counselling can help you slow the cycle down, understand what sits beneath the conflict and find safer ways to reconnect.
Individual Counselling
A gentle space to understand how old wounds, people-pleasing or survival patterns may still be shaping your life, and begin reconnecting with who you are.
