Gina Hossu , BACP

Gina Hossu is a counsellor who uses a blend of approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She brings 15 years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Gina focuses on practical ways to feel steadier day to day.

In sessions she helps people spot unhelpful thought patterns and test easier ways of thinking. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to reduce worry and improve mood through small, doable steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of her work, helping people live in line with their values even when feelings are hard.

Gina draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships still shape current ones. That approach can help where intimacy, abandonment or communication feel difficult. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when the focus is on improving connections and emotional responses in close relationships.

She supports people with a wide range of concerns including addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, body image and parenting strain. Other areas she works with include chronic illness, ADHD, and career or workplace stress. Sessions aim to be straightforward, with clear goals and practical tools to try between meetings.

Gina offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so therapy can fit a busy life. She accepts international clients and works from the United Kingdom. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions through the platform.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Gina uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and experiment with different behaviours. CBT focuses on practical steps that reduce anxiety and lift mood, such as changing routines and testing new ways of responding to stressful thoughts. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people choose actions that match their values even when emotions are strong, and it can be useful for living with long-term difficulties or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gina will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working that suit them. Together they decide which methods to try and review what helps as therapy progresses, keeping the plan flexible and collaborative.

Online formats allow sessions to fit around day-to-day life. Video calls enable a near face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when you need something quicker, and live chat or text-based messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to build therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between sessions.
