Gabriela Mikitova , NCPS

Gabriela Mikitova is a qualified therapist who holds the NCPS credential, a professional counseling qualification. She has worked both in private practice and as a school counsellor, offering individual counselling and psychotherapy to adults, children, and teenagers.

She has experience supporting people facing depression, anxiety, stress, family and relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse including sexual abuse, and other major life changes. Gabriela uses an integrative approach, combining techniques and ideas from different therapeutic models to suit each person's needs rather than relying on a single method.

In sessions she aims to establish a nonjudgmental, respectful atmosphere where therapy feels genuine and supportive. Her work focuses on helping individuals explore their challenges, build coping strategies, and move toward clearer understanding and healing at a pace that feels right for them.

Integrative approaches and flexible online support

Gabriela draws on client-centered therapy to put the person at the heart of the work - this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting clients to find their own solutions, and it can be especially helpful for people dealing with relationship and identity concerns.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify and gently challenge unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often effective for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and practical coping skills.

Mindfulness therapy is another component in her practice, teaching simple attention and awareness techniques that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation during times of trauma or life transition.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Gabriela works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting over time as progress unfolds.

Online sessions offer practical advantages - clients can meet by video call or phone, and access support through live chat or text-based messaging when that fits better with their schedule. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to maintain consistent contact with licensed professionals and therapists regardless of location.
