About Gabriel

Gabriel (Gabor) Bene is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. He is a BACP member and speaks English. He welcomes international clients and helps people who are concerned about relationships, low self-esteem, grief, addictions, or coping after trauma.

Gabriel uses straightforward, practical conversations to uncover what matters to each person. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns in thoughts and actions that keep problems going. He also uses client-centred and attachment-informed ideas to make sure people feel heard and understood.

Sessions focus on small, manageable steps. Gabriel helps people try new ways of coping, test changes between sessions, and reflect on what works. He aims to combine practical tools with attention to feelings and relationships.

He trained in psychology at bachelor level and completed postgraduate study in CBT. With six years' experience, he supports people through common issues such as depression, bipolar mood concerns, anger, eating and sleeping problems, and career stress. He also works with more specialised areas like codependency, attachment issues, ADHD and neurodiversity-related concerns.

Getting started involves using the site process to match and schedule. Gabriel describes his approach as empathetic and straightforward, with an emphasis on working together to set goals and find workable strategies for day-to-day life.

Approaches that shape online work

Gabriel blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centred and attachment-focused work to meet different needs. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleeping and eating difficulties. Client-centred work concentrates on being heard and accepted, letting people find their own pace and answers. Attachment-informed ideas look at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current closeness and trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabriel aims to collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. He will check in about what helps and adjust the style over time, combining practical exercises with space to talk about feelings and relationships.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, offering shorter check-ins when needed, or reducing time away from work. Registered or accredited professionals can deliver the same types of therapeutic tools remotely, and sessions can be planned to suit everyday schedules and practical needs.
