About Gabriela

Gabriela Morris is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has seven years of experience. She works with people dealing with anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and a wide range of life stresses. Her practice also includes support for issues such as addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and parenting concerns.

Gabriela uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on what each person brings to the room. She listens and helps clients find their own answers and coping strategies. Sessions often involve looking at how past experiences shape current patterns and behaviours.

Much of her previous work has involved supporting people affected by domestic violence and sexual abuse. That experience led her to pursue additional training in bereavement support and trauma-related work, including counselling for those who have lost a loved one.

She often helps people explore attachment and family patterns when relationships are strained. Practical topics that come up include setting boundaries, communication problems and managing codependent or controlling behaviours.

Gabriela draws on client-centred and existential ideas to help people make clearer choices about their next steps. She works with adults in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, Czech and Slovak. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Gabriela uses client-centred and existential approaches online

Gabriela works from a client-centred perspective which means sessions focus on the person in front of her. She listens, reflects and helps people notice their own responses so they can try new ways of coping with anxiety, relationship strain or grief.

Existential ideas offer a second strand to her work. These look at values, choice and meaning when life feels confusing or out of control. This approach can help people facing big life changes, questions about commitment, or struggles with identity and purpose.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Gabriela will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adapt sessions to their needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

Session formats are not listed explicitly in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, avoid travel, and choose quieter times for talking. They can also allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful or sessions without video if someone prefers not to be on camera.
