About Gina
Gina Zyla is a counsellor with a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and 14 years of experience. She works to help people who are facing anxiety, depression, stress and relationship difficulties. Gina aims to create a calm, accepting space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming and start to find practical ways forward.
Gina uses a mix of approaches and chooses what suits each person. She draws on client-centred work to focus on what matters to the individual. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, trauma-focused methods and psychodynamic ideas are used where helpful to look at patterns and develop new strategies.
Her background includes long experience working with people affected by trauma and loss, and she brings that understanding into sessions. Gina emphasises working at a pace that feels manageable and building coping skills that can be used between meetings. She also uses creative elements such as art therapy and inner child work when these fit the client’s needs.
People come to Gina with a wide range of concerns including grief, self-esteem problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, career stress, compassion fatigue and issues linked to attachment or abandonment. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiving strain and addiction-related challenges.
Gina is registered with the BACP, and she welcomes conversation in English. To begin, readers can use the site’s Start Therapy process to complete a brief matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to the therapist’s schedule.
Approaches that guide online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the session and focuses on listening and understanding. It helps when someone needs to be heard and wants a non-judgemental space to explore feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and stress-related problems.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on supporting people to process traumatic experiences at a safe pace and to build coping skills for everyday life. It aims to reduce the ways trauma keeps affecting daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods best match a person's needs, goals and preferences. That conversation guides what is tried first and how work changes over time.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings into busy schedules and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep appointments during work breaks or when mobility or caring duties make travel harder. The original profile does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm the available session options before booking to make sure they fit daily life.
