About Gina

Gina Hossu is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns, and also supports those dealing with trauma, grief and addiction-related issues.

Gina uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside other approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy. Sessions focus on noticing difficult emotions, looking at how they affect relationships and learning practical ways to cope day to day. She also draws on client-centred principles to keep sessions person-focused and respectful.

Her background includes long experience helping people manage anger, intimacy-related issues, body image and sleep difficulties. She works with concerns that often come with life transitions, such as career changes, separation and caregiver stress. Practical strategies and talking things through are blended in each session to make ideas usable between meetings.

Gina also addresses more specific patterns like attachment issues, codependency and communication problems. She is familiar with issues linked to neurodiversity including autism and Asperger syndrome, and with chronic pain, illness and disability. The work can include noticing unhelpful patterns and trying new ways of responding.

Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions sit within a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is about noticing and naming emotions that shape interactions. Online work with EFT often focuses on identifying patterns in how people relate and trying new ways of responding to strong feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. In remote sessions this can include setting simple weekly experiments and reviewing how they went between meetings.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult feelings while choosing actions that match what matters to someone. Online ACT sessions typically combine short exercises with discussions about values and practical steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gina will work collaboratively to decide which methods best fit each person’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice can be reviewed as therapy progresses so the work stays useful.

The original profile does not specify which online formats are used, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week - for example having a shorter check-in at lunchtime, avoiding travel time, or choosing sessions that suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly offer a range of ways to meet that aim, and Gina will help match practical arrangements to what each client needs.
