About Gabriel

Gabriel (Gabor) Bene welcomes people who are worried about stress, anxiety, mood or relationship difficulties. He aims to make first steps feel manageable and straightforward. He writes plainly and listens closely so people feel heard and understood.

He practises in the United Kingdom and is a BACP member, which is shown in his credentials as BACP. He has six years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. Common areas he helps with include depression, bipolar mood issues, anger, grief, addictions and sleep problems. He also supports people facing neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and ADHD, and issues linked to intimacy, body image and sexual diversity.

Gabriel draws on several approaches when he works with people. He commonly uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. He also uses attachment-focused and emotionally aware ways of working to look at relationship patterns and emotional responses.

Sessions focus on practical ways to feel steadier day to day. Gabriel often helps people build skills for managing panic, low mood and overwhelming thoughts. He also offers time to talk through trauma, identity questions, career worries and parenting stresses when these come up.

He aims to adapt sessions to each person’s needs, balancing short-term skills with deeper exploration when useful. Gabriel accepts international clients and carries out work in English. To start, the reader is invited to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short questionnaire to match and schedule sessions.

Step 3

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect feelings now and aims to help people notice and change those patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, relationship distress and attachment issues. Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding your experience and offering non-judgemental support so you can make choices that fit you. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabriel will discuss options and try methods that match your goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where you and the counsellor review what helps and what to adjust.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people join from different locations, which supports international clients. Registered or accredited professionals can use a range of techniques online, and Gabriel can adapt exercises and pace so sessions work realistically around your routine.
