About Gabriel
Gabriel (Gabor) Bene is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. He works with young adults and others on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and addictions.
He uses a mix of approaches to suit different problems. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking and stronger emotional awareness. Gabriel aims to help people manage everyday pressure, improve sleep and handle work or study stress.
Gabriel trained in psychology at bachelor's level and later studied further in cognitive behavioural approaches. He integrates client-centred and attachment-based ideas alongside emotion-focused methods. This combination is used to clarify patterns, test new ways of coping and improve close relationships.
Typical sessions include talking through current problems, setting short goals, and trying simple skills between meetings. He supports people dealing with grief, identity questions, parenting strain, and issues linked to sexuality and kink culture. He also works with ADHD, bipolar and long-term health concerns alongside mood difficulties.
Gabriel accepts clients from the UK and internationally and runs work aimed at reducing overwhelm and increasing practical coping. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the site.
How his approaches translate to online work
Gabriel commonly draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment-based therapy when working online. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link and helps people try small experiments to reduce anxiety or improve sleep. Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people shift reactive ways of relating.Finding the best approach is collaborative. Gabriel will discuss your goals and preferences, then suggest ways to proceed. Together you can try different methods and adjust the plan if something does not feel helpful.
Check the available session options before booking to confirm how he currently meets with clients. Many people find online sessions fit study and work schedules more easily, allow shorter check-ins during busy weeks, and let them use exercises between meetings. If bandwidth or camera use is an issue, discuss alternatives when you book so sessions can match daily life without requiring a specific setup.
