Gina Hossu, BACP

Gina Hossu is a counsellor who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits to help people manage stress and anxiety. She is a BACP member, and brings 15 years of experience to practical, down-to-earth sessions. Gina aims to help people make small changes that improve daily life and emotional wellbeing.

She uses a mix of straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to notice unhelpful thought patterns. Sessions often involve spotting automatic thoughts and trying new, manageable routines rather than big, sudden shifts. Mindfulness and person-centred listening are woven into the work to help people feel heard while they try things out.

Gina supports people facing a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy worries, grief, career stress, depression, addictions, sleep and eating issues, and parenting strain. She also works with people dealing with trauma, attachment and abandonment issues, neurodiversity such as autism, and long-term health or caregiver stress. Her approach is practical and paced to the individual.

Practical goal-setting is central to Gina's style. She helps people set realistic steps that fit around family and work demands. Sessions look at coping strategies, communication habits, and how to steady emotions when life becomes challenging.

For someone who wants straightforward support with thoughts, habits and day-to-day difficulties, Gina offers conversational therapy that focuses on what can change now. People are encouraged to take the lead in planning therapy, with the counsellor acting as a steady guide and sounding board.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It focuses on small, meaningful steps to build a more manageable daily routine and can help with anxiety, stress and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and to develop new habits for sleep, eating, work and relationships.

Attachment-Based ideas and person-centred listening create space to talk about relationship patterns and feelings of abandonment or insecurity. This can help people feel understood while they try new ways of connecting or communicating.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where plans can change as needs shift.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during work breaks, and let people use quieter surroundings when that helps them concentrate. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and mindfulness practices to an online setting so the work stays practical and focused on daily habits.
