Gabriel (Gabor) Bene, BACP

Gabriel (Gabor) Bene is an accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and brings six years of experience as an integrated therapist supporting people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. He combines evidence-based methods with a compassionate, person-focused stance to tailor work to each individual’s needs and circumstances.

Holding a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) - a qualification grounded in practical, problem-focused techniques - he offers structured approaches alongside more exploratory, client-led methods. His practice draws on CBT together with person-centered principles, solution-focused tools, and mindfulness to help clients build practical skills and deeper self-understanding.

Gabriel has worked with issues including anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, sleep disturbance, anger management, career challenges, relationship and family difficulties, and addictions. He aims to create a respectful, empathetic environment where people can explore their experiences and develop strategies to move forward. For those ready to take a step toward change, Gabriel provides attentive support to help translate insights into achievable goals and healthier patterns of living.

Approaches that guide online therapeutic work

Gabriel often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful patterns of thinking and develop practical strategies for change - it is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and stress-related problems. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationships shape current emotional responses and relational patterns, which can be especially helpful for people facing intimacy, abandonment, or attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy (also called person-centered therapy) places the client’s experience at the heart of the process, offering a respectful, non-directive space to build self-awareness and self-esteem.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Gabriel collaborates with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they decide which methods to prioritise so therapy feels relevant and sustainable.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and reach people who cannot attend in person. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style, enabling ongoing support that adapts to practical constraints while maintaining the therapeutic relationship with registered professionals and therapists.
