About Me
Hi, I’m Gabriela. I'm a fully qualified and registered Therapeutic Counsellor. I work in York, offering face to face and online therapy with adults aged 18+, with experience in working for NHS, private practice and voluntary work. I am bilingual and I offer therapy in both languages: English and Spanish.
I have a big passion to help others to overcome their mental health issues. Since facing some difficulties myself in the past, taking therapy was one of the best decisions I have ever done, firstly to resolve my difficulties and re-direct my life; and secondly, to take the decision to become a Therapeutic Counsellor.
Working for many years in Human Resources, mental health was an important component within my work area, since then, I found myself wanting to explore more about mental health issues and the effects they can have on individuals in their work environment and in their daily life.
Through my journey and living in UK for over 20 years, I have developed a big interest in helping people to go through life transitions and how these transitions can affect our mental health. I also have substantial interest and knowledge in working with clients who are struggling with cultural transition and identity.
I'm here to help and do the most of your therapy journey. If you are struggling with some mental health difficulties or simply you are doubting about your own worth and struggling to make or accept changes, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
I'm a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. My work and training comply with the BACP ethical framework and its ethical guidelines.
As a Therapeutic Counsellor I receive regular clinical supervision to support and guide my practice ensuring that I can provide an outstanding work.
