Gabrielle helps her clients better understand what has been going on for them, and together, you will make a plan for how best to address these concerns. She believes in the importance of working with clients where they are at, so that they find the sessions meaningful and useful. Her therapeutic approach integrates years’ of professional experience and training with warmth, authenticity, and her own humanness. Sessions will often involve a mix of understanding long-term patterns whilst developing coping skills that empower you to relate differently to yourself and others.

Gabrielle is trained in using Schema Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Enhanced Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT-E), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). She also offers neurodiversity-affirming assessments for adults (18+ years old) who wish to explore whether they are neurodivergent.
