About Gabriel
Gabriel (Gabor) Bene is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, grief or life changes. He works in plain language and focuses on small, manageable steps so clients can start to feel steadier. Gabriel makes time to listen and to understand what matters most to each person.
He blends several approaches to suit different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
Background and approach
Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current trust and intimacy. Emotionally-Focused work supports people to name and process strong feelings in a gentle way. Gabriel holds membership of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, abbreviated BACP.
He has six years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. These include depression, bipolar mood struggles, ADHD, addictions, compassion fatigue and trauma or abuse. He also supports people with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting stresses, career questions, sleep and eating difficulties, and body image worries.
Additional focuses include attachment issues, adoption and foster care experiences, ageing and caregiver stress. Sessions are offered in English and Gabriel accepts international clients. He offers video, phone, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life.
The subscription model lets people cancel at any time and schedule sessions around their commitments.
Approach-led support available online
Gabriel draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside Emotionally-Focused ideas. CBT is about noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small experiments to change moods and behaviour. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect trust, closeness and responses in current relationships. Emotionally-Focused techniques help people name and sit with difficult feelings so they become easier to manage.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Gabriel will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with practical CBT tools, then adding attachment or emotion-focused work to address relationship and intimacy concerns.
Online sessions can be delivered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are good for a full conversational session, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging works for short, flexible reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to arrange therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
