About Gabriela
Gabriela Mano Radunz is an ACA counsellor with eight years' clinical experience. She focuses on practical tools people can use day to day to manage stress and anxiety. Gabriela speaks English and Portuguese and offers online sessions to suit different needs.
She combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with mindfulness and motivational interviewing. Sessions aim to help people notice unhelpful patterns, clarify values, and take small steps that fit their life.
Background and approach
Gabriela keeps conversations clear and direct while staying warm and attentive. Gabriela often works with people facing life changes, self-esteem struggles and ADHD-related challenges. She also supports clients dealing with ageing and geriatric issues, attachment concerns, body image and eating-related problems, caregiver stress, and immigration matters.
Practical skills and gentle reflection are mixed in each session. Her background includes a bachelor degree in psychology and further study in clinical psychology. Gabriela has experience offering workplace listening and support, which informs how she talks about stress, decision-making and ethical dilemmas.
She aims to make therapy feel accessible rather than clinical. People can expect structured conversations with room for personal meaning. Gabriela helps clients build routines, rehearse new behaviours and practise mindfulness exercises.
The emphasis is on helping people reconnect with their values and move forward despite discomfort.
How Gabriela uses ACT, CBT and mindfulness online
Gabriela draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT emphasises values-based goals and small steps, which can be practised between sessions to build momentum.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify and test unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviour in measurable ways. CBT often suits people who want clear strategies for anxiety, stress and low self-esteem. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these approaches to develop calm attention and reduce reactivity in everyday moments.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Gabriela will discuss options, try techniques and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Together the client and counsellor set goals and track progress rather than relying on a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and practising exercises together. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat or messaging can be used for quick check-ins, tracking skills or ongoing support between longer sessions.
