I'm Gabi Pentzek, a trauma-informed integrative counsellor, psychotherapist and BWRT practitioner, offering both face-to-face and online counselling sessions. I tailor my approach using elements from different therapies to create a personalised plan for you. I have extensive experience in short-term as well as long-term therapy.
My aim is to build a trusting and non-judgmental relationship that helps develop self-awareness. Assisting the person to understand the causes of their concerns or triggers for their behaviour, it becomes possible to confidently set goals and develop new behaviours to improve their satisfaction with life.
My primary training is as an integrative counsellor looking at the whole person and considering their mental, physical, and emotional needs. I use a wide range of techniques and tools from different modalities including humanistic, psychodynamic, systemic, CBT and others. This means each client can be offered and individually tailored, multifaceted approach.
Working together, we'll help you understand yourself better.
Counselling isn't a quick fix or a magical solution, but rather a process of self-discovery and evolution. While it cannot erase the past or change your experiences, it equips you with the tools to confront and process your history, preventing it from dictating your present and future.
I believe everyone is unique. Your life experiences and relationships shape who you are in a special way.
So, who are you?
Our sessions will focus on exploring your feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. Whether you're trying to understand yourself better or make sense of past experiences, we'll work together to uncover insights and clarity.
Together, we'll journey towards self-discovery and understanding.

‘BWRT®’ stands for ‘BrainWorking Recursive Therapy®’, a model of psychology and psychotherapy created by UK professional therapist, Terence Watts, MCGI. Like many other modern therapies, it allows a ‘core of privacy’ so that you do not have to divulge anything you would rather not talk about – in fact, the practitioner only needs to know how you feel and how you would prefer to feel instead. BWRT® is a completely new and different therapy based on the latest discoveries about the way the brain works and how it affects our moods, behaviour and emotions. Only Certified Practitioners have been trained to deliver BWRT® and all have to adhere to a strict ethical code. Find out more at http://www.bwrt.org or contact me.
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.
