About Gina
Gina Zyla is a counsellor with a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a BACP Certificate of Proficiency. She has 14 years of experience and focuses on helping people navigate anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties and trauma. Gina works to create a calm space where people can begin to make sense of painful experiences and learn practical ways to cope.
She draws on a mix of approaches so sessions are shaped around each person’s needs. Conversations often look at thought patterns and everyday habits, and may include exercises to build new ways of responding to stress. Gina also uses art-based techniques and inner child work when helpful for someone’s process.
Many people she meets want straightforward help with sleep, appetite, self-esteem or grief. Gina offers a steady presence while individuals make small changes that feel manageable. She aims to help people build resilience and more helpful routines in daily life.
Gina has a long background supporting people affected by trauma and loss. That experience informs how she structures sessions and how she moves at a pace someone can tolerate. The work can include exploring how past events affect current relationships and coping, and learning specific skills to reduce distress.
Her practice is centred on listening and collaboration. Clients set the agenda and Gina tailors methods from her training to match goals, preferences and what feels most useful in each session.

How Gina’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building trust so people can talk about what matters most to them. It helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thought patterns and everyday habits and teaches practical techniques to change them, useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to the impact of past events and uses careful, paced steps to reduce how much those memories disrupt daily life.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Gina will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and how they respond to different methods, and then agree a plan together. That collaboration helps make sessions feel relevant and manageable rather than imposed.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it simpler to use worksheets, drawings or art-based exercises alongside conversation, which ties into Gina’s use of art therapy techniques and inner child work.
