Gabriela Mikitova

Gabriela Mikitova is a counsellor with nine years of experience working in private practice and in schools. She offers sessions for adults and for children and teenagers. Gabriela focuses on everyday struggles such as anxiety, depression, anger and family issues, and she supports people facing trauma, life changes and parenting stresses.

She describes her style as integrative, using a mix of methods rather than a single technique. That means sessions are tailored to what the person brings in each week. Gabriela aims to make sessions warm and non-judgemental so people can speak honestly about hard topics.

Her background includes school counselling alongside private work, which has exposed her to a wide range of relationship and family concerns. That experience informs how she helps people who are adjusting to change, dealing with grief or managing mood conditions such as bipolar and depression.

In practice she draws on Client-Centred Therapy to build trust and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for practical tools to manage thoughts and behaviours. She also uses elements of mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas when they suit a person’s goals.

Sessions are offered in English, Czech and Slovak, and Gabriela works with people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. She holds the NCPS credential and frames therapy as a collaborative process where goals and techniques are decided together.

How Gabriela’s approaches translate to online work

Gabriela uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so a person feels heard and understood. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through relationship worries, loss or anger without feeling judged.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to offer clear, practical techniques for managing anxiety, mood and unhelpful thought patterns. CBT can help people set small goals, track progress and practise new ways of coping between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Gabriela works with each person to decide which mix of methods suits their goals and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made.

The biography does not specify which online session types are offered, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around school, work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions a practical way to keep regular contact with a therapist while juggling everyday responsibilities.
