About Gina

Background and approach
Gina emphasises building resilience and self-compassion as part of recovery. Gina adapts different therapeutic methods to each person’s needs. She integrates existential ideas about meaning and choice alongside client-centred listening and trauma-focused techniques.
Cognitive behavioural tools and psychodynamic perspectives are used where helpful to understand patterns and try new ways of coping. She has long experience supporting people affected by abandonment, attachment difficulties and relationship breakdown. Gina also works with issues such as body image, eating and sleeping problems, chronic illness, caregiver stress and addiction concerns.
Her approach is flexible and pragmatic. Sessions are offered in English and Gina accepts international clients. People find her approach straightforward: she listens, helps identify unhelpful patterns and supports practical steps forward.

Online support
How Gina’s approaches work online
Gina uses Existential Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her online practice. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility and can help when life changes feel uncertain or overwhelming. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance, helping people feel understood and build self-compassion. Trauma-Focused Therapy provides ways to work through traumatic experiences at a pace that feels manageable and to build practical coping strategies.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Gina discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and adjusts methods as needed. She aims to collaborate so each person finds an approach that fits their situation and helps them move forward.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video works well for a face-to-face feel, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text formats suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and differing daily routines while keeping the focus on practical progress.
