About me

I work primarily as a person centred Counsellor, offering a safe space and time so you can come up with answers for yourself and find your own coping mechanisms that work for you. I enjoy watching clients heal from their past, abusive relationships and challenge their patterns. In my past I've worked with women, that experienced domestic violence, some still in abusive relationships. Almost every other client of mine experienced sexual abuse or child sexual abuse. This prompted me to get more training in this area to be able to help and heal clients affected by it. Statistics show 1 in 4 adults are a victim of sexual abuse of some form. It affects current lifes of many and without healing and the right support we may feel alone.
I have trained with Road Victim Trust, counselling clients that have lost a loved one. I found being a person they can lean on and safely talk to, exploring the different stages of grief, very rewarding.
In my private work I worked with many clients wanting to heal the relationship with their family and often worked exploring their attachments and gaining more understanding of their behaviour. This has eventually led to making more positive changes in their lifes, learning how to set boundaries and start building healthier relationships.

Gabi is fantastic! She’s been a massive support for me during a hard time. Super friendly and approachable, you naturally want to share things with her. Can’t recommend her enough ¨̮

Sessions with Gabriela helped me to go through my breakup and lots of hard feeling. She created a space, where I could proccess all my emotions and struggles. I felt listened and it was important to me. I am happy I matched with her.

She is very understanding and listens to everything. Gives great advice and is very considerate. She doesn't judge you or make you feel bad for being different or about your experiences.

Gabriela is a very competent therapist and makes me feel right at home as if speaking with a good friend who is a great listener .

Gabriela is kind, sensitive and hugely positive. Active listening is a very hard skill to learn but I think it comes naturally to Gabriela. I have worked with a few therapist over the years, and she is by far the most easy to open up to, and I usually leave our sessions feeling lighter and brighter. Thanks for the heavy lifting xx
