About Gabriel

Gabriel (Gabor) Bene is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. He works in a straightforward, caring way and focuses on building trust so people feel able to talk about hard things. He is an accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP).

Gabriel has six years of experience working with a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, grief, self‑esteem and parenting stress.

Background and approach

He also supports people dealing with anger, compassion fatigue, eating or sleeping difficulties, bipolar disorder and ADHD-related challenges. Gabriel blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. He draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

He also uses client-centred methods to focus on what matters to the individual, and attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions. Sessions are practical and grounded. People can expect clear discussion of goals, simple exercises to try between sessions, and a calm space to talk things through.

Gabriel works with adults on issues related to body image, communication problems, co‑dependency, chronic illness and other complex concerns. He offers help in English and accepts international clients. Gabriel aims to support people who want steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes, and encourages anyone ready to begin to take the next step.

Ways of working Gabriel names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Gabriel adapts therapeutic approaches to online work

Gabriel draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change behaviour. CBT is useful for worry, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties.

He also uses attachment-based work to look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. This can help when relationships, intimacy or communication are part of the problem. Client-centred therapy is part of his way of working too, which means the conversation follows what matters most to the person and the pace is set by them.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Gabriel will work with each person to agree goals and try methods that suit their needs and preferences. That collaborative process includes reviewing what helps and making changes to the plan together.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work or a busy day. Live chat or messaging can support shorter check-ins, written reflection and quicker access between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep a steady routine and stick with therapy over time.
