About Gina

Gina Hossu is a counsellor who blends practical therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She holds BACP registration with 15 years of clinical experience and aims to create straightforward, useful support for everyday problems.

Gina uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-led goals and on Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused approaches to look at relationship patterns. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps rather than big theory talks.

Common concerns Gina addresses include depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma and addictions. She also supports people dealing with work stress, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related difficulties. Practical issues such as sleep, eating and body image are part of her day-to-day work.

Gina aims to keep things person-centred. That means listening first, then agreeing goals together. She uses exercises, reflective discussion and simple behavioural tasks to test what helps between sessions.

People who come for therapy leave with clearer next steps. Gina helps make coping tools part of routine life. She encourages goal setting that fits around work and family commitments, and she checks progress regularly.

How therapy approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviours that keep problems going, which often helps with anxiety, low mood and sleep. Attachment-Based work and Emotionally-Focused ideas look at how early relationship patterns influence current bonds and communication, and can be helpful when relationship issues or repeated hurt are the focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to what you need, discuss options and try approaches collaboratively. Together you agree short-term goals and practical tasks to try between sessions so progress can be reviewed and adjusted.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. Some approaches suit shorter practical tasks or written exercises, while others use longer conversation to explore relationship patterns; the therapist will help choose the best way to work for your goals.
