Do you feel overwhelmed, lost or stuck? Is there a sense that life could be better, that you are floundering instead of flourishing? Therapy offers an opportunity to slow down and reflect on your life space; a chance to explore and gain insight into unhelpful patterns of belief and behaviour which can cause distress and influence how you feel about yourself and the world. I am passionate about instilling hope by fostering greater connection and meaning in life which you may have lost sight of. Therapy has the potential to facilitate small yet meaningful changes, creating a powerful ripple effect on your mental health and wellbeing.

I offer a supportive, non judgemental space for whatever is holding you back from living life to the full. Expressing what is on your mind can be the first step towards feeling better. Therapy can involve finding ways to manage life's current challenges whilst also exploring patterns rooted in the past that can keep us stuck. You may need support to recover from loss or trauma, help with an issue, behaviour, or relationship that is causing distress. Perhaps you would simply like space for self-exploration and personal growth. Listening carefully to the unique needs of each individual, I tailor sessions accordingly.

There is no path from Point A to Point B that does not traverse the unknown
Real transformation occurs when patient and therapist can enter and embrace that unknown
Perhaps it is like ancient sailors setting out to sea in search of a new and distant land—but uncertain how far they might have to travel before they once again set foot on solid earth, or what they might find when they get there"
There is no substitute for meeting face to face though.
I listen to your memories dreams and fantasies. In this work your relationship with me is really important and is both close and boundaried. The therapist does not talk about themselves. Only with you. There are no goals or tasks. There is freedom. This can sometimes feel uncomfortable. It is also exciting as we work towards changing things.

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.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
