About Gabriel
Gabriel (Gabor) Bene is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship struggles, and he lists codependency among his focus areas. Gabriel also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, grief, sleep and eating concerns, and difficulties with self-esteem or career changes.
He uses practical conversation and evidence-informed techniques to help clients notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now, how past attachment experiences shape current relationships, and small changes that make daily life easier. Gabriel draws on cognitive behavioural methods alongside client-centred and emotionally-focused ideas to help people try different ways of relating and responding.
His background includes study in psychology and further postgraduate work in CBT approaches, and he is registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). That registration is the professional detail he lists when describing his practice.
People who come to him for codependency-related concerns often want clearer boundaries, less people-pleasing, or help coping with someone else’s moods or substance use. Gabriel works with each person to identify priorities and practical steps rather than promising a quick fix. Sessions look at feelings, behaviour and the choices available in daily life.
International clients may be accepted and sessions are conducted in English. Fees vary by location and are billed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
Approaches you might use in online sessions
Gabriel works with cognitive behavioural and attachment-informed ways of working alongside client-centred ideas. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people practise new ways of responding to anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns show up today and helps people understand why they seek closeness or avoid it, which can be useful for codependency and relationship issues. Client-centred therapy emphasises listening and the person's own pace, supporting people to find their own solutions rather than being told what to do.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Gabriel will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try different methods in collaboration with the client. That helps him and the client see what makes a practical difference in day-to-day life.
The therapist's profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can schedule appointments around work or caring commitments. Registered or accredited professionals use these options to make therapy more convenient while working on the same issues they would cover in face-to-face sessions.
