During journey of our life we come across many challenges, some posed by external environment, some by our internal environment. We manage most of them by our coping mechanisms and problem solving skills. I believe everyone of us has the capacity to deal with our external / internal environment using our strengths / values / attitudes / communication to name a few. According to Carl Rogers we are on a continued path of becoming a person. In order to achieve this, self awareness becomes one of the most important factor. I consider myself privileged to to have accompanied my clients on their journey of their becoming..

My own journey into psychology began with an interest into how we tick as human beings and why some of us seem to suffer and cope better than others. I soon realised that where I really needed to be was with people, helping them better understand and heal themselves. Now, as a qualified psychotherapist for many years, I not only get to do just that, but I also get to witness first-hand the courage and growth of my clients that is forever inspirational.

I work with adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck or disconnected from themselves, often navigating challenges in their relationships, emotional wellbeing or major life transitions.

Gabriela is a Multilingual MIACP accredited Psychotherapist and Logotherapist. Her practice is rooted in Multicultural Humility, combining Clinical Precision with the depth of Existential and Psychoanalytic Thought to honor the intersecting identities of her clients. Gabriela’s perspective on the human condition was forged at the intersection of high-touch human vulnerability in Romanian orphanages and high-tech medical intervention in Irish hospitals. This transition to the "Soul-Work" of psychotherapy was a natural evolution. She believes while Medicine can heal the Body, the Human Spirit must navigate the Search for Meaning.

I take an integrated approach, drawing from humanistic and psychodynamic perspectives, as well as practical tools from CBT and brief solution-focused therapy.
Starting counselling can feel a bit like setting off on a road trip into unknown territory. Some parts of the journey will feel familiar, while others may feel completely new. It can be tiring, emotional, or frustrating at times, but it can also be deeply cathartic. With each step, you gain insight, clarity, and a sense of accomplishment. Think of me as your tour guide — here to provide gentle direction, support, and company when the road feels rough.

Therapy must feel safe before it can be productive. To this end, I initially attempt to provide a sense of ease in counseling sessions. From there, I generally like to see if the client and myself can collaboratively identify what might be some goals. These goals can be anything from wishing to feel less anxious, sad, irritable, troubled, to addressing relationship difficulties at home or at work, to trying to better understand a feeling of being unfulfilled, or to think or feel differently about the past. In many cases, it is plenty to just to have a safe place to discuss anything at all in a confidential, non-judgemental setting.

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is ideally suited to clients who are undergoing a certain amount of mental suffering, and are motivated to do the slow, demanding work of finding out what has given rise to it. Clients may use therapy to talk about distressing experiences they have recently or not so recently undergone, dilemmas or difficult decisions they find themselves faced with, or symptoms such as depression, anxiety, obsessive thoughts and rituals, and some varieties of chronic pain for which there is no apparent medical cause.
