About Gabriel
Gabriel (Gabor) Bene is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to help people facing depression, anxiety and life stress. He offers a calm, straightforward approach and focuses on what clients want to change. Gabriel speaks English and works with people from different countries by video, phone, chat or messaging.
He uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. Sessions centre on listening and understanding how past relationships affect present feelings.
Background and approach
Practical skills from cognitive behavioural work are used to manage unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Gabriel holds membership of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, BACP, and brings six years of experience to his work. He draws on training in cognitive-behavioural ideas and on client-centred principles to keep the work grounded and human.
This blend helps with mood, sleep, self‑esteem and coping after trauma. In sessions Gabriel helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and reflect on what matters to them. He also supports those dealing with grief, addiction, career stress and relationship difficulties.
The aim is to build tools that work in day-to-day life. Practical arrangements are kept simple. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can choose what fits their routine.
Costs vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled based on therapist availability. Gabriel aims to make the first steps clear and manageable for people seeking help.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabriel will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which combination of methods fits best. That collaborative planning means therapy can change over time as needs shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging. Video is useful for a therapy feel similar to face‑to‑face, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check‑in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or need flexible, on‑the‑go support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
