About Gina
Gina Hossu is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, career pressures, depression and addiction. Sessions are delivered in English and she accepts international clients.
Gina uses practical, evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and find workable ways to respond. She also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centred methods to explore relationship patterns and what feels important to each person.
In sessions she focuses on concrete goals. That can mean trying new strategies between meetings, planning small changes at home or work, or rehearsing different ways to respond when anger or anxiety rises. She frames work in everyday terms so people can use what they learn straight away.
Her background includes helping people cope with trauma, grief, parenting stress, ADHD-related difficulties and compassion fatigue. She also supports those dealing with body image concerns, chronic illness, relationship breakdown and issues around intimacy and commitment.
Gina invites clients to set realistic steps and to review progress together. New clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
For anyone worried about snapping at loved ones, feeling stuck at work, or carrying long-standing resentment, Gina offers practical tools and steady problem-solving to help manage those patterns.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Gina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her practice. CBT breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviours into small steps and offers practical exercises to try between sessions, which suits focused online meetings. ACT helps people clarify values and take committed actions, useful for managing anger, anxiety and life transitions.She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship patterns and how early connection styles affect current responses. That kind of exploration can be done through conversation and reflective exercises, with the therapist and client collaboratively deciding where to concentrate the work.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gina works with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals and preferences and adapts methods as the work progresses. This is a collaborative decision rather than a fixed prescription.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a work break, or meetings that remove travel time. It also allows people to practise strategies in their normal routines and bring those experiences back into sessions for review.
