Gabriela Mikitova, NCPS

Gabriela Mikitova is a qualified therapist who brings experience from both private practice and work as a school counsellor to her clinical work. She provides individual counselling and psychotherapy for adults, children, and teenagers, supporting people through depression, anxiety, stress, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse including sexual abuse, and other major life changes.

As an integrative therapist, Gabriela does not rely on a single technique; she combines elements from different approaches to tailor treatment to each person she sees. Her practice emphasizes a nonjudgmental and respectful space where clients can explore challenges honestly and work toward meaningful change. She aims to make the therapy experience genuine, safe, and respectful while guiding clients through practical and emotional steps that fit their unique situations.

Gabriela holds the NCPS credential, a professional qualification, and uses her training to adapt interventions to each client's needs. Her background in both school settings and private practice helps her connect with young people and adults alike, offering flexible support across a wide range of concerns.

Approaches and Support for Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own perspective and strengths, with the therapist offering empathy, active listening, and support to help people explore their feelings and make choices that fit their values. This approach is useful for building self-esteem and navigating relationship or identity concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and learning practical strategies to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties that respond well to structured skill-building.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and emotions, helping people manage stress, improve emotional regulation, and reduce rumination.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Gabriela collaborates with clients and with licensed professionals as needed to determine which methods fit a person’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adapting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to access support from different locations, and to maintain continuity of care when in-person options are limited.
