He also supports issues such as parenting stress, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and body image concerns.

Online support
How Gabriel blends approaches for online therapy
Gabriel often draws on Existential Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and to face big life questions. This approach supports conversations about meaning, choice and coping with change, which can help when people feel stuck or unsure of the next step.He also uses Attachment-Based work to look at how early and current relationships shape patterns in close connections. That can be useful for improving communication, resolving repeated relationship struggles, and understanding emotional reactions. Client-Centred Therapy underpins his style by keeping sessions focused on the client's concerns, paced by the individual's needs and preferences.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try different methods to see what fits best. Sessions move at a mutually agreed pace, and adjustments are made as the work develops.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins or people who prefer writing, and all formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
