Languages: English, Romanian, and Italian.

 

Background and Experience:

Gabriela is a qualified Multilingual Psychotherapist and an Accredited Member of the Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MIACP). Her practice is deeply rooted in Multicultural Humility offering a culturally sensitive lens that honours the diverse backgrounds, traditions, and perspectives of her clients. She combines a structured Clinical Precision with the depth of Existential and Psychoanalytic Thought.

 

Logotherapy & Existential Work:

Gabriela possesses a rare perspective on the human condition, shaped by her personal experiences of sitting at the intersection of high-touch Human Vulnerability in Romanian Orphanages and high-tech medical intervention in Irish hospitals. Transitioning from the technical landscape of the hospital to the Soul-Work of Psychotherapy and Logotherapy has been a natural evolution for Gabriela. Through her own experience with abandoned children and her years spent at the bedsides of patients facing life’s most daunting transitions, she has witnessed a singular Truth: while medicine can heal the Body, it is the Human Spirit that must navigate the Search for Meaning. To her, sadness and worry aren’t just symptoms to be managed, but signals that it’s time to courageously face your own narrative and transform your life from the inside out.

Sexuality, Psychosexual Concerns & Identity, and Limerence

Relationships including LGBTQ+ and Polyamorous/Non-Monogamous Dynamics

Bipolar Disorders, Schizophrenia, Psychosis, and Neurodiversity

Other Areas of Interest:

Whether you are navigating the fog of Depression, the exhaustion of Trauma & Addiction, or the overwhelming cycles of Anxiety, and Limerence & OCD, Gabriela will look beyond your symptoms to understand the roots of your pain. Her practice provides dedicated support for individuals living with Bipolar Disorders, Schizophrenia, and Psychosis, while offering a warmly Neurodivergent–affirming environment where clients can safely feel truly seen.

As a practitioner specializing in Psychosexual Concerns and Life transitions, Gabriela offers compassionate support from Identity Crises and Existential Challenges. In a safe, professional setting, she guides clients to explore their Sexual Identity and Unconscious Desires, bridging the gap to help them truly inhabit their Sexual Self. To restore a healthy sense of intimacy, Gabriela pinpoints the “Existential Vacuum” and the triggers behind Addictive & Compulsive Behaviours. Her clinical objective is to help her clients prioritize conscious choices that reflect their genuine personal values over impulsive ones.

Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity (GSRD):

Beyond individual healing, she works extensively with couples of all Identities and Cultural backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ and Polyamorous/Non-Monogamous Dynamics. Specializing in Human Sexuality, Gabriela’s work addresses a broad spectrum of Sexual Fantasies, Masochistic Behaviors, Perversion, and Fetishism, alongside the clinical treatment of Sexual Dysfunctions. Finally, the focus moves towards revitalizing Sexual Vitality by resolving the psychological and psychosomatic barriers (e.g. performance anxiety or loss of libido) that genuine connection and physical well-being.

Crisis Counselling and Suicide Prevention:

Besides her work, Gabriela has experience in Crisis Intervention and Suicide & Self-Harm Prevention: through Logotherapy principles, she creates a grounded and compassionate environment for people who are experiencing profound Despair or Ideation, guiding them toward discovering a Sense of Purpose that can sustain them through their darkest moments. By tapping into a client’s Innate Spiritual Resilience, she provides a roadmap through Existential Dread and the competing Instincts that shape their pursuit of meaning.
