About Gina
Gina Hossu is a counsellor who blends practical therapies to help people manage everyday pressures. She draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to make small, useful changes in thinking and behaviour. Gina holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often written as BACP, and brings 15 years of experience to her work.
Gina keeps sessions straightforward and goal-focused. She helps people spot unhelpful patterns, try new responses, and build routines that fit real life.
Background and approach
Conversations are down-to-earth and aimed at practical steps rather than jargon-filled explanations. Common topics she addresses include stress, anxiety and depression, but she also supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, career doubts, addictive behaviours and the effects of trauma and abuse. Parenting concerns and issues around self-esteem and sleep are also within her remit.
Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current responses, and on emotionally focused methods to deepen understanding of feelings. Gina uses client-centred principles so the session moves at the person’s pace and focuses on what matters most to them. Sessions are offered in a range of online formats to suit different needs.
People who reach out can expect a collaborative process that aims to turn small steps into lasting changes. Gina aims to make therapy manageable and relevant to everyday life.

Approaches for online parenting and life challenges
Gina uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. CBT looks at thinking and behaviour patterns and helps people try different responses to reduce distress and improve routines. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and committed action, helping people accept difficult feelings while making choices that match what matters to them.Finding the right approach is part of the process and Gina treats it as a collaborative discussion. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and personal preferences, and adapt the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make sessions flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text can be used for shorter check-ins or when typing feels more natural. These options help people fit therapy around work, parenting duties and other commitments.
