Gina Hossu, BACP

Gina Hossu is a counsellor who draws on practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stressful moments. She holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings 15 years of experience to her practice. Gina writes in a direct, down-to-earth way and makes space for straightforward problem solving.

Gina often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, helping people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-based action. Sessions aim to be collaborative and focused on what makes life more manageable day to day.

Clients come with many concerns, including anxiety, stress, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related problems. She also supports people with issues around parenting, work stress, eating and sleeping, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, chronic pain or illness, codependency and communication problems.

Gina describes her style as person-centred and practical. Conversations balance listening with clear tools and small goals. The aim is to help people feel steadier, less overwhelmed and more able to make changes that matter.

To begin, Gina asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions via the Start Therapy button. Fees vary with location and availability and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Gina's approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce distress and improve daily routines. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep and persistent worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try new ways of relating when those patterns cause pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time so people can keep appointments more easily. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins during a break or to choose audio-only if bandwidth is limited.
