About Gina

Gina Hossu is a counsellor with 15 years' experience who focuses on practical, day-to-day support. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Gina aims to make therapy straightforward and relevant to each person's life.

Gina prefers short, clear conversations that lead to workable steps. She often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people reframe unhelpful thoughts. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to address relationships and emotional patterns.

Clients often bring concerns about stress, anxiety or low mood, and she also helps with trauma, grief and codependency. Gina works with issues such as sleep and eating difficulties, career strain, addiction-related worries and managing caregiver stress. She pays attention to how attachment history shapes current relationships.

Sessions focus on practical skills, mindful awareness and clearer communication. Gina helps people set realistic goals and build small habits that fit everyday life. She aims to make therapy feel like a steady conversation rather than a series of lectures.

Gina welcomes people who want a collaborative approach and straightforward tools. She encourages clients to try short experiments between sessions and to shape therapy to their pace. Many people find this style useful when navigating life changes or trying to improve emotional balance.

How Gina Uses Different Therapy Approaches Online

Gina commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide her online work. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. ACT encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it helps people clarify their values and take small steps in line with what matters.

She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This approach helps people understand communication issues, trust and intimacy concerns, and longstanding relational habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gina works collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person's goals and temperament. Together they try things out and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed.
