Gabriel Cabral
Gabriel is a trainee integrative counsellor currently completing the Diploma in Integrative Counselling at The Awareness Centre.
Alongside his training, Gabriel has worked as a key worker supporting clients who struggle with drug and sex addiction. This role has deepened his understanding of addiction, shame, attachment wounds, identity, and the complexity of behavioural coping strategies. He brings both professional experience and lived insight into recovery, allowing him to sit with clients in a way that is compassionate, non-judgmental, and honest.
Gabriel is particularly interested in LGBTQ topics, immigration, feminism, terminal illness, sexual abuse survivors, social equality, and drug addiction recovery. His integrative stance values relational depth, empathy, and congruence, while also engaging critically with theory and its limitations.
He aims to offer a space where clients feel genuinely heard, emotionally safe, and empowered to explore their internal world at their own pace.
