Background and approach

She also works with people facing depression, addiction issues, anger and relationship difficulties. Gina helps those who want to rebuild a sense of self, develop confidence and cope with major life transitions. Her practice is rooted in humanistic ideas that emphasise respect and the worth of each person.

She aims to be genuine, empathic and to give unconditional positive regard in sessions. Gina draws on client-centred listening to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She also uses reflective and exploratory approaches influenced by Jungian and existential thinking.

These approaches support people who want to examine meaning, values or recurring patterns in their lives. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing techniques are brought in when useful to support coping and change. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage day-to-day impact as well as deeper emotional work.

Gina takes a holistic view - noticing mind, body and spirit - and works collaboratively to find steps that feel manageable. Her style is warm, steady and focused on helping people find more ease in their lives.

Online approaches that suit stress and anxiety

Gina uses client-centred therapy to focus on the person's experience in the here and now. This means listening without judgement and following what matters most to the individual, which helps when stress or anxiety feels overwhelming.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. These short, practical techniques can reduce intense feelings in the moment and make everyday coping easier. Jungian ideas are used to look at life themes and recurring patterns, which can help people understand why certain struggles keep returning.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Gina will discuss options with each person and adapt methods to their goals and preferences rather than using one fixed method. The focus is on what feels most helpful and achievable for the individual.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging. Video works well for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone can suit those with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and chat or messaging offer brief check-ins or more flexible timing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility limits and give more choices about how to take part.
