Gabriele Pentzek

I am taking on new clients and am available for face-to-face sessions or via zoom. 

My working hours are from 9am until 7pm on a Thursday, I also offer evening slots on Wednesdays and Fridays.

I work within an Integrative approach with the therapeutic relationship of non-judgement, acceptance and trust being the most important.

Drawing from a variety of therapeutic modalities to assist you in your healing journey. Tailoring therapy to your individual needs and preferences as I am seeing every therapeutic encounter as unique.

At some point in our lives we might be confronted with situations and emotions that we cannot make sense of. When we experience times like this,  having somebody to listen to you empathically and non judgementally, offering you a safe space where you can explore these feelings might be just what you need. 

Why not give me a call, text or email me for a free 15 minute initial consultation to find out if I could be that somebody who can offer  what feels right for you.

I am an experienced counsellor offering a safe, confidential space in which to explore your issues in an empathic and non-judgemental manner.

Coming to therapy can be a daunting experience and one that takes courage to make the first step. Our first session will take the form of an assessment – giving you the time and space to discuss the issues you face as well as your hopes for counselling.

We will also use this time to look at and discuss the therapeutic contract which will underpin our working together. Should you decide that  you are happy to continue further with it.
