White balance rape-age

Ignore the non composed, out of focus absymal image. I was just firing off my flash making sure the transmitter was in order. I noticed something and I've always wanted to bring it up but I keep forgetting to, until now!

When it comes to images like this, where you have a warm light mixing with a cool light is there anyway to combat this in the white balance or other methods? Or do you have to use a gel on your flash to meet the colours of the ambient light?

You can see the warm light emitted from the lamp with the cool light on the right emitted from the strobe.

Gel your flash.

If you took multiple WB reference shots to work with in PP, you could do it - but it would be some work... Gelling your flash to match the ambient is probably the easiest thing...
