Gina Kelly , BACP

Gina Kelly is a counsellor who uses a humanistic, person-centred lens to help people through difficult times. She has a BACP credential and has worked in the United Kingdom for around 10 years supporting people with loss, low mood and major life changes. Her tone is warm and respectful and she aims to make conversations straightforward and usable.

Gina often works with people experiencing grief, chronic illness and end of life concerns. She also helps those feeling stuck by low self-esteem, anxiety or addiction. People come to her wanting clearer self-knowledge, greater confidence and practical ways to move forward.

Her approach values each person’s inherent worth and capacity to grow. Sessions are grounded in empathic listening, genuineness and what she describes as unconditional positive regard. Gina places importance on the whole person - mind, body and soul - and adapts the pace to what feels manageable for the client.

Practical work in sessions can include gentle exploration of life meaning, noticing patterns that get in the way, and simple mindfulness practices to calm intense feelings. She aims to help people find daily strategies that reduce overwhelm and create more choice in how they respond.

Gina offers several ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. She asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and then schedule sessions that fit their needs and availability.

How Gina blends humanistic care with online therapy

Gina draws on client-centred and mindfulness approaches in online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and reflecting what matters to you; it helps when someone needs acceptance and clarity about personal values. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices and grounding techniques to reduce anxiety, manage difficult emotions and increase everyday resilience.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Gina will discuss your goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then she will suggest ways of working together. The plan can change over time as needs and priorities evolve, and she aims to find methods that feel helpful and realistic for you.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging works for ongoing written reflection. These options increase flexibility, making it easier to schedule sessions around work, care responsibilities or health constraints.
