About Gabriel
Gabriel (Gabor) Bene is a BACP-registered counsellor with six years' experience based in the United Kingdom. He helps people with anxiety, stress, depression, relationship difficulties and trauma and abuse. He also works with issues such as self-esteem, sleep, anger, addictions and career concerns.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside attachment-based and client-centred methods. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, trying different ways of responding, and building practical skills to manage day-to-day problems. The tone is direct and problem-focused rather than theoretical.
Gabriel combines practical exercises with listening and reflection. He uses straightforward tools from CBT to identify thought patterns and plan small experiments to test new behaviours. Attachment-informed ideas are used to look at how past relationships affect current responses.
People who prefer clear structure will find the sessions predictable and task-oriented. Gabriel encourages setting short-term goals and reviewing progress each session. He also works with longer-standing questions about meaning and values using existential ideas when helpful.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To get started, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
How Gabriel uses CBT and relational approaches online
Gabriel commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-based ideas alongside client-centred practice. CBT is practical and focused on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-based work looks at patterns from past relationships that shape current reactions and can help with intimacy-related concerns and relationship difficulties. Client-centred practice keeps the conversation centred on the persons experience and priorities, supporting clearer goals and active problem-solving.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gabriel will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. He treats this as a collaborative process, reviewing what helps and adjusting the plan over time.
The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a weekday break or reducing travel time so therapy can slot into busy routines. Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to attend regular short check-ins or structured weekly work without changing daily plans.
