It's been really helpful and easy to access. The therapist is great and often puts extra time in our meetings if needed. I've learnt and developed a lot in the past few weeks thanks to the advice provided.

I recognize that seeking help for mental health concerns can be challenging and makes you feel vulnerable, but I am here to support you throughout this journey. As an accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), I bring over four years of experience as an integrated therapist, dedicated to helping you achieve better mental health and well-being with sincerity, empathy, and compassion.

With a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I am well-equipped to offer effective, evidence-based therapies tailored to your unique needs and circumstances. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, self-esteem issues, or other mental health challenges, I am here to assist you.

Alongside CBT, I utilize various therapeutic techniques and modalities, such as person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness. My approach is rooted in empathy and compassion because I believe that genuine healing and growth stem from feeling heard, understood, and cared for.

My expertise includes working with anxiety, stress, depression, self-esteem, and self-confidence issues. I also have experience supporting trauma and abuse survivors, helping them heal and move forward. Whether you're facing sleep problems, anger management issues, career challenges, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, or addictions, I am here to guide you towards a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.

Taking the first step towards seeking help can be daunting, but you are not alone. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for exploration and growth, helping you develop the tools and strategies to overcome your challenges. If you're ready to embark on your journey towards improved mental health and well-being, I encourage you to reach out and take the first step today.

About online counseling

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Gabriel is a brilliant therapist. From my experience he listened attentively to my words and was able to kindly understand my message across to him before trying to provide coping methods and a solution. I listened to everything Gabriel said to me and took on board everything, put them into practice and within a short period of time, I have been able to overcome some serious issues. Thank you Gabriel.
