About Gabriela
Counsellor Gabriela Morris is a BACP member with seven years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She primarily practices person-centred counselling and often focuses on trauma, abusive relationships, grief, and relationship patterns. Sessions are offered in English, Czech and Slovak.
Gabriela aims to help people find their own coping methods. She listens and reflects so clients can examine past harm and current patterns. She has worked with people affected by sexual abuse and domestic violence and sought further training to support those experiences.
Her work has included grief support through training with a road victim charity. She meets people who are processing loss and helps them talk through the stages of grieving and practical next steps.
Many clients come wanting better family relationships. Gabriela spends time looking at attachment and communication, and how old patterns affect present life. She helps clients practise setting boundaries and testing different ways of relating.
Sessions tend to focus on the person's immediate concerns and what they can try between meetings. Gabriela uses the person-centred frame to prioritise the client’s perspective and existential ideas to look at meaning and choice. She encourages practical steps as well as reflection.
People considering counselling are invited to review the session process and decide what feels manageable for them. Gabriela works in straightforward language and explains each stage before moving on.
How Gabriela uses person-centred and existential ideas online
Gabriela works from person-centred principles that prioritise the client's experience. This means the counsellor listens, reflects and follows what matters most to the person. It can help with rebuilding a sense of agency after trauma or abusive relationships, and with day-to-day coping.Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility in life. Gabriela uses it to help people consider their values, decisions and the way they make sense of loss or big changes. It is useful when someone feels stuck or needs to re-evaluate what matters to them.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is something she will do together with the client. Gabriela will discuss which ideas feel most useful, set small goals and adjust methods as work progresses. The process is collaborative and practical.
The practical benefits of online counselling should be checked before booking since specific session formats are not listed in the profile. Confirm which formats are offered and how they fit your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. It can also allow phone-only options where less bandwidth or not being on camera is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can help you decide what will work best for your situation.
