Gabriele Pentzek @ G P Counselling
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.
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.
Together, we create a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space to explore your emotions and behaviours.
Our sessions are a collaborative journey, focusing on
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.
Feeling anxious is a natural response to certain situations—it can help us focus or take extra care. However, when anxiety becomes overwhelming or persistent, it can interfere with daily life. The good news is counselling can help! There are effective ways to manage it. By recognizing the signs and using practical strategies, we can work together to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, helping you regain control and find relief.
Stress is a natural part of life, but when it becomes overwhelming, it can have a negative impact on our mental and physical health. Counselling can provide valuable support in stress management, helping you learn practical strategies to manage stress and improve your overall well-being.
Relationships are at the heart of our lives, but they can also bring challenges. By deepening your self-awareness and understanding how you connect with others, Your engagement in our counselling and psychotherapy sessions can help you strengthen communication, build trust, and create more fulfilling, lasting relationships.
As a trauma-informed counsellor and psychotherapist, I provide a safe space for you to work through your trauma at your own pace. Together, we will develop healthy coping strategies, empowering you to reclaim control of your life and begin the healing process.
Grief and loss, whether from death, separation, or life changes, can make it hard to find joy in the things you once loved. Navigating bereavement takes time, compassion, and support. Together, we can help you process your grief with understanding and care, guiding you toward healing and rediscovering fulfillment. My empathy and understanding of psychotherapy can help provide the emotional support and guidance you need during this difficult time.
Facing tough life decisions can feel overwhelming, but finding clarity and direction is possible. Utilising the tools counselling and psychotherapy offer, we can foster resilience and build the confidence you need to navigate challenges, empowering you to make choices with greater purpose and certainty.
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.
If you're considering counselling, I encourage you to contact me to discuss your needs and see if I'm the right fit for you.
