About Gabriel
Gabriel (Gabor) Bene is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of life challenges. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
He draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of his approaches to help people name and work with strong feelings that influence their behaviour. He also uses attachment-based ideas and client-centred techniques to focus on emotional patterns and how they play out in relationships and day-to-day life.
Gabriel trained in psychology at bachelor level and has a master’s-level background in cognitive behavioural approaches. He combines those skills to offer practical strategies alongside emotional work. That can mean using thinking and behaviour-based exercises, alongside conversations about feelings and attachment patterns.
Typical sessions involve talking through current difficulties, identifying repeating patterns, and trying new ways of responding. He works with issues such as sleep and eating concerns, anger, addiction, grief, parenting strain, and struggles with self-esteem and identity. He also supports people dealing with neurodiversity, chronic illness, adoption and abandonment themes, and intimacy-related questions.
Gabriel describes his approach as integrated and person-centred, blending evidence-based tools with emotion-focused work. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How Gabriel uses EFT, attachment and CBT online
Gabriel works with Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name strong emotions and the interaction patterns those feelings create. EFT is often used when emotions seem overwhelming or hard to put into words, and it can help clarify how feelings shape responses in relationships and day-to-day life.He also draws on attachment-based therapy, which looks at early relationship patterns and how they influence current reactions. That approach helps people notice repeating dynamics and consider new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) adds practical tools for changing thought patterns and behaviours, useful for anxiety, sleep, and mood management.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Gabriel aims to collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences, and he adjusts the focus as therapy progresses.

Online sessions can make it easier to fold appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time.
