Gina Hossu, BACP

Gina Hossu is a counsellor who blends practical therapies with a warm, down-to-earth style. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and draws on 15 years of clinical experience. Gina focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and the many life changes that come in midlife.

Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred work. Sessions often look at unhelpful thought patterns and build simple, everyday strategies to cope better. Gina also uses attachment ideas to help people understand relationship patterns and improve intimacy and communication.

She works with a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, caregiver stress and compassion fatigue. Gina also supports people facing career uncertainty, anger, low self-esteem and ADHD-related difficulties. She aims to make plans that fit into a person’s real life rather than offering one-size-fits-all fixes.

Gina encourages practical steps alongside reflection. Conversations tend to be straightforward, with exercises and tools between sessions to practise new skills. She pays attention to how past experiences influence present choices and helps clients try different ways of responding.

People who choose Gina often want clear, achievable goals and a supportive counsellor to test ideas with. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How Gina's approaches translate to online work

If you choose online sessions with Gina, some of the approaches she uses can be explained simply. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on what matters to you and teaches ways to act in line with your values while handling difficult feelings. Attachment-Based ideas help make sense of relationship patterns and improve how people connect and respond in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gina will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and together they decide which methods to try first. That conversation is collaborative and can shift over time as needs change.

The original biography does not specify which online formats are used, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises and between-session tasks to work well in remote appointments, helping people practise new skills between meetings.
