About Gabriela
She often supports people affected by past abuse and difficult relationships, including those who have experienced domestic violence or sexual abuse. Gabriela has undertaken further training to improve how she works with survivors and to better respond to the impacts of those experiences.
Gabriela also has experience supporting people facing grief after losing a loved one. She trained with the Road Victim Trust and has helped clients talk through the different stages of mourning and adjust to life changes.
Much of her work looks at attachment and relationship patterns. She helps people understand why they behave in certain ways, practise setting boundaries, and make small changes that lead to healthier relationships and better day-to-day functioning.
Her style is warm and person-focused. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward. Gabriela listens, reflects, and supports clients as they try out new ways of coping and relating.
Clients who speak English, Czech or Slovak may be able to work with her. International clients are not accepted at this time, so please confirm session options and arrangements before booking.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Gabriela works mainly from a Client-Centred Therapy perspective, which focuses on listening, empathy and helping the person find their own solutions. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship patterns and coping with past abuse because it prioritises the client's experience and pace.She also uses ideas from Existential Therapy that invite people to reflect on values, meaning and life choices. This can help when someone is facing big changes, grief, or questions about identity and purpose.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gabriela will discuss goals and preferences with each person and will adapt how she works so clients feel the sessions fit their needs. The process is collaborative and aims to identify practical steps that can be tried between meetings.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm which options are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people keep continuity of care when life circumstances change, while allowing the same person-centred and existential focus used in face-to-face work.
