Gabriel (Gabor) Bene, BACP

Gabriel (Gabor) Bene is a BACP-accredited therapist based in the United Kingdom with six years of clinical experience helping people navigate a wide range of emotional and life challenges. As an accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) - the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK - he combines practical, evidence-informed methods with a warm, compassionate stance.

His training includes a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and is used to address difficulties such as anxiety, depression, and stress. Alongside CBT he draws on client-centered principles and attachment-aware perspectives to tailor therapy to each person’s needs and life context, helping clients feel heard and supported while working toward change.

Gabriel works with people facing anxiety, stress, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, self-esteem and confidence concerns, sleep and eating problems, parenting and career challenges, and neurodiverse issues among others. He emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and practical tools to help clients build coping strategies and move toward greater well-being.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Gabriel integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered work, and attachment-aware approaches in his online practice. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood and to build practical coping skills. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client’s own goals, creating space for self-exploration and personal growth. Attachment-based work looks at how early relational patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses, supporting clients who struggle with intimacy, abandonment, or relationship cycles.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gabriel works collaboratively with each person to understand their needs, preferences, and goals, and together they select or adapt methods that feel like the best fit. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy is relevant and focused on meaningful change.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to engage from different locations and at different times. For many, these options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they support ongoing progress with the guidance of registered professionals and therapists.
