About Gabriela
Gabriela Mikitova is a counsellor with nine years of clinical experience in independent practice and in schools. She offers one-to-one work for adults and also supports children and teenagers. Gabriela speaks English, Czech and Slovak and holds the NCPS credential.
Her style is practical and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the person wants to change. Gabriela combines talk-based work with clear strategies to help manage anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and stress.
How Gabriela works
She also supports people dealing with grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. Gabriela draws on several ways of working rather than a single method. That means sessions can include exploring past patterns, learning different ways to cope, and trying small, solution-focused steps between meetings.
She pays attention to how identity and cultural background shape a person’s experience. People who see her can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through. Gabriela aims for straightforward language and practical next steps, while also allowing time to reflect on deeper feelings.
She keeps sessions respectful and tailored to each person’s needs. Her additional focus areas include attention differences such as ADHD, issues linked to abandonment or codependency, communication and control problems, domestic violence, financial worries, and questions about life purpose. Gabriela also works with matters related to veteran and armed forces issues and multicultural concerns.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions; it is useful when someone needs emotional support and clearer self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy helps build attention to the present moment and calming skills that can reduce stress and reactivity.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Gabriela will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process can mean trying different tools and checking how they fit over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical options for ongoing work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be a better fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who find typing easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, school and family commitments.
