About Gabriel
Gabriel (Gabor) Bene offers practical support for men feeling overwhelmed, anxious or stuck. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through worries about work, relationships, grief, mood or identity. Gabriel is a BACP member and speaks English; he works from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients.
He draws on six years of experience as an integrative counsellor. Sessions are usually collaborative and focused on what the person wants to change. Gabriel uses tools from cognitive behavioural approaches to look at thoughts and behaviours, and he brings in attachment and emotion-focused ideas to understand how relationships shape feelings.
In practice he listens first, then helps people try small, practical changes to daily routines and thinking patterns. He also works through difficult emotions such as anger, shame or grief at a pace the person finds manageable. Mindfulness and existential ideas are sometimes used to help people find meaning and steadiness when life feels uncertain.
His areas of concern include stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar, trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy issues, grief, parenting and career worries. He also supports people with neurodiversity, attachment difficulties, body image and relationship communication problems.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and connection. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and reduce repeated hurts by building new ways of relating.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's perspective at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person find their own direction, which can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It offers concrete exercises to test unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours for issues like anxiety, sleep problems and low mood.
Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust plans as work progresses. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the approach stays practical and relevant.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy into busy lives, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or avoiding camera use when that feels easier. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches for a video or phone setting, and will discuss what will work best during initial scheduling.
