About Gabriel
Gabriel (Gabor) Bene offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. He writes simply and listens closely to understand what is causing strain. Sessions aim to make difficult problems feel clearer and more manageable, with a focus on what the person wants to change.
Gabriel is an accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). He has six years' experience and draws on a psychology degree plus further training in cognitive approaches.
Background and approach
He uses straightforward techniques that help with low mood, anxiety and everyday coping. In sessions he combines client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural ideas. That means people have space to tell their story while also learning steps to reduce unhelpful thinking and behaviour.
He also uses attachment and emotionally focused ideas when relationship patterns are important. People come to him for many concerns including stress, trauma and abuse, anger, addictions, grief and intimacy-related issues. He also supports those dealing with sleep and eating problems, career questions, ADHD-related difficulties and identity issues such as LGBT concerns.
Gabriel offers flexible online formats so therapy can fit around work and family life. He aims to work at a pace that suits each person and to help build skills that last beyond the sessions. He accepts clients in the United Kingdom and international clients in English.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step starts the process.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. Gabriel will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to focus on exploring relationship patterns, deep listening, or practical thought-and-behaviour changes, and they can combine elements as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls are good for visual connection and fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging can work well for brief check-ins, written reflection or when someone wants flexible timing. These options make it simpler to keep continuity and progress even with a hectic schedule.
