Fabian
Martin was born on the island of Tenerife, in the Atlantic Ocean, very
close to Africa. He is passionate about traveling the world. Fabian
graduated in Psychology at age 22. In the early years of his
professional career, he worked on immigration issues, with children,
young people and adults. After two years of developing awareness actions
towards immigration, he started working as a psychologist in the area
of child protection. During these years, Fabian was approaching
methodologies of collaborative work, since the traditional methods of
work did not have useful results. Fabian went from a form of work based
on the expert’s stance to a focus on identifying strengths and finding
possibilities where families and professionals were experts in their own
lives. One could say that he went from a traditional concept of family
psychotherapy, a structural model, to an approach that put less labels
and that believed in the change of people. Curiosity and lack of
judgment were fundamental to building therapeutic relationships with
professionals and families. In this work context, Fabian studied a work
methodology inspired by gestalt therapy, narrative therapy, solution
oriented therapy and collaborative and dialogic practices. When this
stage of work ended, Fabian began to coordinate a specialized
intervention program with adolescents in social conflict. He raised the
challenge of coordinating from the collaborative philosophy, creating
spaces to converse between professionals and families. On the other
hand, Fabian was able to provide training for professionals from all the
Canary Islands for three years. In this training space, there was
practice with all the collaborative principles to reflect on
professional practice in the child protection sector.
Fabian has
always reconciled his work with therapy in the private sphere. In his
life curiosity and genuine interest in understanding human relationships
mark his present path. At the moment he works as an independent
professional that offers its services to those companies and people who
think that he can be useful, always with the intention of putting the
focus on the human relations and the humanization of the institutions.
