About Gabriel
Gabriel (Gabor) Bene is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has six years of practice and primarily works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, anger, addiction and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients.
Gabriel uses a mix of approaches to suit the problem presented. He draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at patterns of thought and behaviour. He also uses client-centred methods that keep the conversation focused on the person's experience. Attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas are used when relationships and intimacy are central issues.
In a typical session he listens to what is happening right now and looks for practical ways to reduce distress. That might include trying out small changes between sessions, testing different ways of handling thoughts, or practising new patterns of relating. He can help with sleep and eating problems, managing anger, coping with grief, and the stress of caring for others.
Gabriel notes work with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, codependency, body image, adoption and foster care issues, chronic illness and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. He also supports people dealing with career pressures and parenting strain. He aims to be straightforward about options and next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling
Gabriel commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy and client-centred work as part of his practice. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and can explore what matters most to them.He also draws on attachment and emotionally-focused ideas when relationships are central. These approaches look at how past and present connections shape reactions and help people try different ways of relating in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. He works with clients to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences and the problems they bring. That choice is revisited over time so the work can change as needs change.
The biography does not list specific online formats. Please confirm the current session options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, and offering options that do not require being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these practical benefits while helping people work on sleep, anxiety, relationship issues and coping skills.
