About Gina
Gina Zyla is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, stress and trauma. Gina also lists support for LGBT concerns, grief, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues among her focus areas.
Gina describes the work as centred on the person's own priorities. Sessions give space to talk through what feels most pressing, and to develop practical coping strategies. She uses a mix of approaches and adapts them to each person's needs rather than following a single method.
Her background includes long experience supporting people affected by trauma and loss. That experience informs how she works with strong emotions, including methods to manage reactions and build steadier responses over time. She also mentions work with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and body image.
Gina uses several therapeutic approaches in practice, including client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural techniques and trauma-focused work. She also draws on existential and psychodynamic ideas when they fit the person’s concerns. Practical tools and conversational reflection are combined with attention to past experiences that shape current feelings.
Sessions are offered in English and Gina accepts international clients. She asks people to use the site’s matching questionnaire to book a first session and notes that sessions use a subscription model which can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Gina uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in session. Client-centred work focuses on listening and following what the person wants to talk about, helping people feel heard and to decide what to work on next. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful habits and reduce distress.She also draws on trauma-focused methods to address strong reactions linked to past events. Trauma-focused work involves careful pacing, grounding techniques and skills to manage overwhelming feelings so people can process difficult memories over time. These approaches are used together as needed rather than as separate rules.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Gina will collaborate with the person to choose approaches that match their goals, current situation and preferences. That way sessions can be adjusted if something is not helping or if priorities change.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, family and day-to-day life because they remove travel and can be scheduled for shorter or later times. Other practical benefits include being able to use phone rather than video when bandwidth is limited, or arranging a briefer check-in when time is tight. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss which format will suit the practical needs of each person.
