About Gina

Gina Hossu is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, anger, career pressures, depression, addictions, family matters and trauma and abuse. Gina also supports those dealing with grief, intimacy issues, sleep or eating difficulties, and ADHD-related concerns.

She uses plain language in sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use between meetings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness practices and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are among the approaches she draws on. She also uses attachment-based and client-centred ideas to help people understand patterns in relationships and self-worth.

Gina aims to set clear, achievable goals alongside the person in the room. Sessions include talking through current problems, noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and trying out small behavioural changes. She helps people work on communication, boundaries and coping strategies for stress and intense emotions.

Her background includes long-term work supporting people with complex life events and ongoing struggles such as chronic illness or caregiving stress. That experience shapes how she combines practical techniques with a focus on relational patterns and emotional responses.

People who choose her often want a straightforward approach that links what happens day-to-day with therapy tasks. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How Gina uses different therapies in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps that fit what matters to the person, and it can be useful for anxiety and avoiding patterns that keep problems going.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It includes practical exercises and experiments to test unhelpful beliefs and try new behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape patterns in current relationships and self-image. It helps people recognise repeating patterns in trust, closeness and communication and develop different ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and then agree which methods to try together. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time if something does not fit.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered and accredited professionals can run focused skill-based sessions or longer therapy meetings depending on what the client prefers and what is agreed at the first meeting.
