About Gabriela

Gabriela Morris is a BACP counsellor who offers a respectful, person-centred space for people to talk through difficult life events. She draws on seven years of practice to help people untangle painful pasts and find coping ways that fit their lives.

Gabriela focuses on supporting people affected by abuse and domestic violence. She has worked with many survivors of sexual abuse and with people still in abusive relationships. That experience led her to seek additional training to better meet those needs.

She has also worked with people grieving the loss of a loved one, training with the Road Victim Trust to support bereavement. Gabriela spends sessions listening, helping people notice and move through the different stages of grief at their own pace.

Family relationships and attachment are another main area of her work. Gabriela helps people understand their patterns, practise setting boundaries, and make changes that improve day-to-day relationships and wellbeing.

Gabriela uses a client-centred approach that puts the person’s priorities first. She also draws on existential ideas to look at meaning, choice and responsibility when people are facing life changes or big questions. Sessions are conversational and guided by what the person wants to address.

She offers counselling in English, Czech and Slovak in the United Kingdom. People who want to start can use the site process to match and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Gabriela’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens openly, reflects what is said, and helps the person find their own answers and coping strategies. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to work through personal issues such as relationship patterns, grief or trauma.

Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. It can help people facing big life changes, feeling stuck, or wanting to rethink values and priorities. Conversations often focus on what matters to the person and what they can choose next.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Gabriela will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and then decide together which ideas to use in sessions. That collaborative approach helps shape what therapy looks like week to week.

Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow people to join from familiar surroundings. It also lets therapists use conversation-focused work effectively for issues like grief, trauma recovery, relationship patterns and managing stress.
