About G P Counselling
Counselling and Psychotherapy Tailored to Help You Unlock Your Potential
I'm Gabi Pentzek, a trauma-informed integrative counsellor, psychotherapist and BrainWorking Recursive Therapy (BWRT) practitioner, offering both face-to-face and online counselling and psychotherapy sessions for adolescents and adults.
I am here to support you with compassion and care, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches to create a personalized plan that truly fits your needs.
With experience in both short-term and long-term counselling, my focus is on building a warm, trusting, and non-judgmental relationship where you feel safe to share and explore.
Together, we will gently uncover the roots of your concerns or the triggers behind your feelings, helping you understand yourself more deeply.
I will provide you with practical tools to help you set meaningful goals, develop healthier patterns, and find a greater sense of peace and fulfilment in your life.
Counselling that Offers Effective Therapy Strategies for Lasting Change
Working together, I'll help you understand yourself better.
Counselling isn’t a quick fix or a magical solution; it’s a compassionate journey toward self-discovery and healing.
From a trauma-informed perspective, I understand that past experiences — especially painful or challenging ones — can have a profound impact on your present feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. While we cannot change the past, we can work together to process these experiences in a safe, supportive space, helping to prevent them from controlling your present and future.
Whether you're looking to better understand yourself, navigate the effects of past trauma, or find new ways to cope and thrive, I am here to support you. Together, we will develop a deeper understanding of your inner world, explore your feelings, and create a sense of safety and empowerment. We will uncover the insights and strengths within you to guide your journey forward.
Let's take this step together toward healing, self-discovery, and transformation.
HOW WORKING WITH ME CAN HELP
Together, we create a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space to explore your emotions and behaviours.
Our sessions are a collaborative journey, focusing on
- Anxiety & Stress Relief: Manage and reduce overwhelming feelings.
- Relationship Support: Building a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships. Improve communication and connection.
- Trauma Recovery: Gaining insight into unconscious patterns and behaviours. Heal from past experiences with compassion.
- Grief & Loss: Navigate bereavement with understanding and care.

- Life Decisions: Find clarity and direction during difficult times. Fostering resilience and confidence.
I recognize that seeking counselling is a unique journey for everyone, driven by various reasons. Give me a call or sent me an email to see how I can help you.
Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT)
BWRT® stands for ‘BrainWorking Recursive Therapy®’, a unique form of psychology and psychotherapy developed by UK therapist Terence Watts, MCGI.
It is a modern therapy that respects your privacy, meaning you don’t have to share any details you’d rather keep private. Often, the practitioner only needs to know how you currently feel and how you'd prefer to feel.
Unlike traditional therapies, BWRT® is based on cutting-edge research about how the brain influences our moods, behaviors, and emotions. Only Certified Practitioners, who follow a strict ethical code. Find out more at http://www.bwrt.org or contact me.
Since training in BWRT®, I’ve helped clients overcome various issues, such as fears, anxieties, trauma, difficulties with relationships, and coping with grief and loss.
Sessions can be done over video calls, like Zoom or WhatsApp, or even by phone. This means you can fit therapy into your life no matter how busy you are or where you are in the world—whether at home, in the office, or anywhere else.
During a session, I guide you to use your own thoughts to create positive changes from within. You don’t need to share specific details; the change comes from you, not from anything I say or do.
All the work is done while you are fully awake and aware—it's logical, practical, and straightforward. For it to be successful, all you need is a genuine desire for change in your life.
