Gabriela Morris, BACP

Gabriela Morris is a person-centred counsellor who creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences and discover their own coping strategies. She focuses on helping people move beyond the effects of past trauma and abusive relationships, supporting them to recognise unhelpful patterns and build healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

Her clinical experience includes working with women affected by domestic violence, and many clients have presented histories of sexual abuse or child sexual abuse. That experience led her to pursue additional specialised training to better support people affected by those issues. She also works with clients experiencing grief, having trained with the Road Victim Trust to provide sensitive support to people who have lost a loved one and to help them navigate the different stages of mourning.

In private practice she frequently explores attachment dynamics and family relationships, helping clients to understand their behaviour, establish boundaries and develop more positive connections. Her areas of interest include relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and a range of emotional and life challenges. She holds BACP credentials - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects adherence to professional standards in counselling practice.

Client-Centred and Existential Approaches for Online Care

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and discovers their own solutions. This approach is often helpful for people working through trauma, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns and life transitions because it supports personal insight and self-directed change.

Existential Therapy explores questions about meaning, values and personal responsibility, helping clients to make sense of difficult life experiences and to consider new ways of living. It can be useful for people facing grief, major life changes, feelings of aimlessness or struggles with identity and purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Gabriela works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best with their needs, goals and preferences. Together they will consider the most helpful ways to work and adjust the approach as progress unfolds.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging makes therapy more flexible and accessible for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow clients to connect from home or during busy days, maintain continuity of care when life changes, and choose the format that feels most manageable for their situation.
