About Gina
Gina Kelly is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. She holds BACP accreditation, and she works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship concerns. Gina also helps with addictions, self-esteem and coping with life changes.
She often supports people dealing with deep unrest, loss of self, long-term illness and bereavement. Gina offers a calm space to talk through difficult feelings and to begin making small, practical changes.
How Gina works
Her approach is respectful and non-judgemental, focused on the person's experience rather than labels. Gina draws on humanistic principles that treat mind, body and spirit as connected. She uses client-centred listening alongside existential and Jungian ideas to help people find meaning and regain a sense of direction.
Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing also feature when a person wants tools to manage anxiety or change behaviour. Sessions aim to be gentle and supportive. Gina invites people to explore feelings at their own pace and to work towards clearer values and calmer reactions.
This can include practical strategies for day-to-day coping as well as reflective work about identity and purpose. She has additional experience with ageing and geriatric issues, body image, chronic illness and cancer related concerns. Gina also addresses blended family issues, divorce and separation, fatherhood questions and forgiveness work, helping people rebuild confidence after upheaval.

Online support options
Approaches you can use online with a counsellor
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on warm, accepting listening and helping a person feel heard. It is useful for people who need space to talk through emotions and rebuild confidence. Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and purpose and can help when life changes feel overwhelming or leave someone uncertain about next steps.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor will explore your needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which approach or mix of approaches might suit you. This is a collaborative decision and can change over time as your priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is lower or a shorter check-in is needed, live chat suits those who prefer typing in the moment, and messaging works for ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and mobility limitations while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
