About Gina

Gina Hossu is a counsellor who blends practical talking therapies with everyday strategies. She uses a mix of approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. Gina holds BACP registration, and she draws on 15 years of experience to offer steady, straightforward support.

In sessions she focuses on what matters now. She helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test them against real life. She also uses mindfulness exercises to calm the body and rebuild better sleep habits. Conversations aim to be simple and useful rather than full of jargon.

Gina works with a wide range of concerns including relationships, grief, trauma and addiction. She also supports people with career strain, compassionate fatigue, ADHD and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Practical coping tools and small behavioural steps are often part of the work.

Her approach is collaborative and goal-minded. She helps people set clear, manageable goals and reviews progress each step of the way. Sessions combine talking, skills practice and planning so people can try things between meetings.

People commonly come for help with life changes and ongoing difficulties that affect sleep, mood and day-to-day functioning. Gina aims to make therapy feel possible on a busy life schedule and to help people build routines that last.

How Gina’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them; it often includes values work and practical experiments to support meaningful behaviour change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based approaches look at patterns in relationships and can help people understand how early connections influence current reactions and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gina will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as things progress.

Please confirm available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, fitting a short check-in into a workday, or choosing a session type that suits quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises, mindfulness practice and sleep planning for remote delivery so the work can continue between meetings.
