Gabriela Bucur

MIACP Multilingual Psychotherapist & Counsellor 


I am a Multilingual qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist, and an Accredited Member of Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MIACP) with a completed BA (Honors) Degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Dublin Business School (DBS) which involved four years of comprehensive training under professional supervision.

 

My main training include a number of different approaches: Person-Centred Approach, Psychoanalysis, Existentialism, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Body Psychotherapy, Stress Response, Integrative & Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Family & Systemic  Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Psychopathology, Addiction Studies, and Group Psychotherapy.  

 

I have a Professional Certificate in Couples Therapy from the Institute of Couples Therapy Ireland, a certificate in Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST), and a completed suicide prevention training program with HSE called Lets Talk About Suicide. Currently, I am enrolled in obtaining a Professional Diploma in Logotherapy and Existential Analysis from the Viktor Frankl Institute of Ireland. As of now, I am also enrolled in a program to acquire a Certificate in Family Therapy with PCI College. 

 

LOGOTHERAPY

 

The diploma in Logotherapy and Existential Analysis provides me a better understanding of Life & Death Concepts and Instincts, Existential Angst, and the Theory and Therapy of Mental Disorders like Neuroses, Psychoses, Schizophrenia, Criminality, and Suicide. 

 

A Logotherapist helps their clients have a better understanding about Life & Death, Will-to-Meaning & Meaning-Centred Interventions, Happiness & Gratitude, Freedom vs Fate, Choice & Responsibility, Ethics & Trust, Power of the Human Spirit, Unavoidable Suffering, Existential Vacuum (Lack of Meaning, Boredom, Inner Emptiness), Sunday Neurosis, Attitudinal Change, Crisis Situations, Despair & Violence & Aggression, Addictions, Depression. 

 

Regardless of your identity or circumstances, you have the option to choose. Either you choose to live on autopilot, fear, or be a victim of your circumstances, or you can opt to choose to stop reacting to your surroundings and decide how you respond to life. 

 

Those combined modalities give me the opportunity to have a holistic and visceral understanding of my client’s needs and fears. My goal is to help my clients turn their suffering into achievement and accomplishment, to reduce anxieties that paralyses their potential, and use their spiritual resources to withstand adversity. I believe that by taking the first step, everyone has the power to unlock inner peace, promote wellbeing, and to improve Resilience, Acceptance, Cognitive Re-appraisal, Spirituality, Happiness, overall Health, and Life Satisfaction.
