Gabriela Morris

Gabriela Morris works mainly as a person-centred counsellor, offering a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can explore their own answers and develop coping strategies that suit them. She supports people as they reflect on past experiences and as they learn ways to manage day-to-day challenges.

She has a particular interest in helping clients recover from abusive relationships and in supporting them to recognise and change repeating patterns of behaviour. In her previous practice she worked with women who had experienced domestic violence, including some who remained in abusive situations.

Many of her clients have disclosed experiences of sexual abuse or child sexual abuse, which led her to undertake further training to better support those affected. She cites the widely reported statistic that one in four adults is a victim of some form of sexual abuse, and she focuses on providing informed care to those coping with its effects.

Gabriela has also trained with the Road Victims Trust to counsel people bereaved by road incidents, finding it rewarding to be someone clients can rely on while they work through the stages of grief. In private practice she has helped clients repair family relationships by exploring attachment patterns and increasing understanding of their own behaviour - steps that have often resulted in clearer boundaries and healthier relationships.
