Gabriela Mano Radunz, ACA

Gabriela Mano Radunz is an ACA counsellor with eight years' clinical experience. She works with people navigating anxiety, stress, ADHD challenges, self-esteem struggles and major life changes. Gabriela brings a warm but direct style to sessions and aims to help clients reconnect with their values and choices.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, with mindfulness and motivational strategies woven in. Gabriela often helps people notice unhelpful thinking, clarify what matters to them, and practise small changes that fit daily life. She pays attention to cultural context and to how identity and practical decisions interact.

Gabriela has practised with clients facing burnout, social anxiety, career transitions, grief and relationship difficulties. She has substantial experience supporting women with ADHD-related concerns and with emotional and financial transitions. Her background also includes work in workplace listening and support roles, which informs how she holds complex emotional material.

Sessions are delivered in Portuguese and English, and Gabriela currently works with Portuguese-speaking clients. She describes her therapeutic stance as gentle but structured, offering clarity when it helps and space when it’s needed. People can expect focused conversations, practical strategies and attention to values and meaning.

If you are considering therapy, Gabriela asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability. This helps clarify goals and whether her style feels like a good fit before booking ongoing sessions.

How Gabriela’s approaches translate to online therapy

Gabriela uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to guide sessions. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practising small, doable behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and build confidence.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gabriela collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and day-to-day life. She checks in about what feels helpful and adjusts the mix of mindfulness, values work and practical skills as therapy progresses.

Her biography indicates she currently offers online work in Portuguese and Spanish, so please confirm the precise session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuity of care during life transitions and can be adapted to include practical exercises, mindfulness practices and homework that fit regular routines.
