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 clinical experience to his integrated therapeutic practice. He combines formal training with a compassionate, empathetic style to support people through anxiety, stress, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, bereavement, and a wide range of life changes.

He holds a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a postgraduate qualification that focused on practical, structured approaches to changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Gabriel draws on a range of well-established methods, including client-centered work and attachment-informed approaches, adapting techniques to fit each person rather than offering one fixed model.

Gabriel has particular experience supporting those facing difficulties with self-esteem, sleep, anger management, addictions, intimacy and family challenges, as well as caregivers coping with stress. He also works with issues related to sexuality and LGBT concerns, neurodiversity, parenting and career transitions. His practice emphasizes being heard and understood while developing practical tools and strategies for day-to-day life.

Offering international availability and flexible session formats, Gabriel aims to make therapy accessible and collaborative. He supports clients in exploring their goals, building resilience, and moving toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Therapeutic approaches and remote care

Gabriel works with several established approaches that translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain problems such as anxiety, low mood, or sleep difficulties; it uses practical exercises and collaborative goal-setting to build new skills. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, offering empathic listening and unconditional positive regard so clients can explore their experience and find their own solutions; this is especially helpful for issues of self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relational patterns shape present-day connections and can support recovery from relationship wounds, abandonment fears, and trauma-related struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Gabriel works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time based on progress and client feedback, so therapy remains responsive and tailored.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those living abroad. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access therapy from familiar surroundings, and choose the communication mode that feels most comfortable.
