Gabriela Mikitova, NCPS

Gabriela Mikitova is a qualified therapist based in the United Kingdom who holds the NCPS credential and brings nine years of experience from both private practice and school counselling. She offers individual counselling and psychotherapy to adults, children, and teenagers, working to support people through a range of personal and relational challenges.

Gabriela works with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse including sexual abuse, grief, parenting and family problems, relationship and intimacy-related issues, ADHD and bipolar-related concerns, sleep difficulties, anger, career transitions, and coping with life changes. She also addresses issues such as codependency, communication difficulties, control problems, domestic violence, multicultural concerns, and the effects of prejudice or discrimination.

As an integrative practitioner, Gabriela draws on elements from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, psychodynamic, and solution-focused approaches to tailor care to each person. She strives to create a nonjudgmental, respectful, and genuine therapeutic environment where clients can explore goals, develop practical coping strategies, and work collaboratively toward meaningful change.

Integrative approaches and online therapy options

Gabriela commonly draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental stance to help clients explore their feelings and personal goals. This approach is useful for building self-awareness, improving relationships, and working through emotional pain.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy - a practical, structured method that helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy is another element Gabriela incorporates, teaching present-moment awareness and coping skills that can support emotional regulation and reduce reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gabriela works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Registered professionals and therapists often combine techniques, and Gabriela will discuss options and adapt the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Gabriela can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access support from home or other locations, and choose the format that best supports the client’s needs.
