Gabriela Mikitova
Calm, practical counselling for life changes
About Gabriela
Gabriela Mikitova is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She holds the NCPS credential, which she uses to guide her work with adults and young people. Gabriela aims to make sessions calm and straightforward for people who are worried or unsure about starting therapy.
She has worked in independent practice and in schools as a school counsellor. That background means she is used to short-term support and longer talking therapy.
Background and approach
Common concerns she addresses include anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief and major life changes. Gabriela blends several approaches rather than sticking to one method. She draws on client-centred ways of working that focus on the person, cognitive behavioural ideas that look at thoughts and behaviours, and mindfulness techniques that help people notice the present moment.
She also uses psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas when they suit the client. In sessions she focuses on real problems and practical next steps. People can expect clear, gentle conversation about what is causing distress and what could help.
Gabriela also pays attention to identity and cultural issues when these matter to a person’s situation. She offers work in English, Czech and Slovak and accepts clients from outside the UK. Sessions can be arranged by following the site's start process and completing a short matching questionnaire before booking.

How Gabriela’s approaches translate to online therapy
Gabriela uses client-centred therapy which focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience, helping them feel heard and supported while they work through their concerns. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try small changes that can ease anxiety, depression and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gabriela will discuss goals, try different techniques and adapt methods based on what helps most. That collaboration means the plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited; live chat or messaging can fit into short breaks or be used for brief check-ins. These options make it simpler to connect around work, school or travel, and to keep continuity of care when schedules shift.
