About Gina
Gina Hossu is a counsellor who combines practical therapies to help people feeling overwhelmed by life. She brings 15 years of experience and works from values-based and evidence-informed approaches to help clients manage stress, anxiety and relationship strain. Gina is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
She often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try out different responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness are part of her approach when someone wants to live in line with their values despite painful thoughts or feelings. Gina also draws on Emotionally-Focused and Attachment-based ideas when relationship patterns and connection issues are central.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical. Gina aims to set clear goals and teach skills that fit into busy lives, such as ways to manage anxiety, improve sleep, or cope with grief and loss. She also offers coaching-style support for career decisions and life changes when people want active, problem-focused work.
Gina works with a wide range of concerns including depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, intimacy-related difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she addresses include body image, codependency, chronic illness and caregiver stress, communication and commitment issues, and separation or divorce.
People can expect a collaborative and respectful style that places their priorities at the centre. Gina helps clients identify small, practical steps and builds on what already works for them. If you want to explore whether she is a good fit, the next step is to start the matching process and schedule an initial appointment.
How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate action, then choose behaviours that match what matters to them; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating and emotional connection, which can be helpful when relationship issues or past losses affect current life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gina will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend ways of working that suit those aims. She treats the choice of method as collaborative, adjusting the mix of skills, reflection and goal-setting as sessions progress.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter routine check-ins when helpful. They also let people use tools such as guided exercises and worksheets during or between sessions to practise new skills. Ask about scheduling, time zones and any practical arrangements when you match with the therapist.
