Gabriel (Gabor) Bene , BACP

Gabriel (Gabor) Bene offers calm, practical help for people feeling overwhelmed. He focuses on making therapy straightforward and relevant. He speaks English and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. Gabriel is a BACP member and brings six years of practice to sessions.

He takes a warm, listening approach. Conversations begin with what matters most to the client. Gabriel uses ordinary language and simple tools to address stress, anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem concerns. He also supports people facing trauma, grief, addiction, relationship strain, and issues around intimacy and identity.

Sessions combine talking with practical techniques. He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Emotionally-Focused and client-centred ways of working help people feel heard and understood.

Gabriel also helps with sleep and eating difficulties, parenting stress, career questions, ADHD and neurodiversity-related challenges. He works with people managing chronic illness, caregiving strain, and complicated life transitions. Additional interests include adoption and foster care, body image, and kink-aware practice.

Therapy is offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches that translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how relationships and early patterns shape current feelings and reactions. It helps when past hurts influence trust, closeness or repeated relationship patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing the behaviours that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties because it breaks problems into practical steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports people to put words to strong feelings and to improve emotional connection and regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they test methods and adjust the plan as needed so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online sessions make therapy easier to fit into everyday life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing body language matters. Phone sessions work well for quieter audio-only conversations or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options offer flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving or travel while still receiving regular therapeutic support.
