I help clients with their personal problems, including addiction, anxiety, bereavement, depression, family issues, loss, low self-esteem, stress and trauma.
I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, which means I believe there is no "one size fits all" approach to client work. Each person has their own history and reason for seeking therapeutic support, and so I offer a range of interventions, where required, to meet each clients' needs.

Clients coming to see me have usually lost confidence in themselves-some have never had it. They want to feel more positive about their current situation and have a hopeful outlook for the future. Low mood and anxiety can arise for many reasons-sometimes we need to go back into earlier experiences to find out the cause. For others there has been a significant loss-of employment-or the death of a person close to them. All these things trigger a sense of insecurity and struggling to manage we can develop unhelpful behaviours -maybe we drink or eat too much or hurt ourselves in other ways. Counselling helps us find healthier options

With your assistance my aim is to develop different strategies in making better choices to existing problems and explore beliefs of past feelings, memories. This doesn’t mean all your life is broken, but certain grey areas compromising the relationships you’re having with self and others.

Hello, I’m Gabrielle, a Chartered Psychologist dedicated to supporting your mental well-being in a nurturing and empowering environment. Thank you for the courage it takes to reach out for help during difficult times. I work with people facing a range of challenges such as the impact of illness, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and identity issues. Having personally experienced chronic illness and, more recently, cancer, I believe the end of treatment for any life-threatening or life-altering illness or event marks not a finish line, but the beginning of a long and often overlooked journey of recovery.

Drawing on 20 years’ experience, I see therapy as a space to come to know yourself more deeply and with care. When emotions are met with curiosity rather than fear, they often feel less frightening and overwhelming - life feels richer for it. I have a deep trust in the healing potential of the counselling & psychotherapy relationship. I offer a space where you feel listened to, respected, & where you can speak in your own voice. I value forming genuine, compassionate relationships & believe we understand one another through our shared humanity. When we feel truly met & accepted as we are, meaningful change becomes possible.

Addiction Counsellors
What is the best therapy for addiction?
Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.
How long does therapy for addiction take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.
How effective is drug addiction treatment?
Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.
How can you get addiction treatment for someone?
The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
