Compassionate, practical therapy to help you move forward
About Gina
Gina Hossu uses practical, evidence-rooted approaches to help people feel steadier. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address anxiety, depression, stress and relationship concerns. Gina introduces simple skills and small experiments that can change how days feel.
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Gina works from plain language and short steps. Sessions focus on what feels most urgent - sleep, mood, work pressure, or coping after loss.
Background and approach
She helps people spot unhelpful patterns and then practices alternative ways of responding. The work can include thought-challenging, values-based goals and mindful noticing exercises. Her approach also pays attention to how early attachments and relational patterns shape current struggles.
Exploring those patterns can help with intimacy concerns, communication problems and commitment worries. Emotion-focused techniques are used to help people name feelings and make sense of emotional reactions. Gina has practised for 15 years with adults facing a wide range of difficulties.
Her experience includes supporting people with addiction-related issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress. She also works with people managing grief, trauma and the aftermath of separation. Sessions are offered in English and are available online to international clients.
Gina makes flexible arrangements including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Gina frequently uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and clarifying values to guide action, which suits coping with stress, chronic pain and life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. That collaborative conversation guides whether sessions lean more towards skills-based CBT, values-focused ACT, or emotion-focused exploration over time.
Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for longer therapeutic work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, timely coaching, or for people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel commitments.
