Gina Hossu, BACP

Gina Hossu is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression and issues around addiction and codependency. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Gina uses straightforward, evidence-informed approaches. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding. She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current connections and Emotionally-Focused techniques to help people notice and name feelings.

In practice Gina prioritises practical steps. That might mean setting small, achievable goals or learning breathing and mindfulness methods to manage anxiety. She will also work on communication and boundary skills for people who find themselves habitually putting others first. Sessions aim to be concrete and paced to fit everyday life.

Gina recognises that problems often overlap - grief, trauma, low self-esteem, and parenting stress frequently appear together. She blends approaches to reflect the person in front of her rather than following a single method. Therapy can include short-term strategies and longer-term exploration depending on what the client wants.

People who come for help with codependency-related patterns find support around saying no, reclaiming personal priorities, and managing the impact of someone else's drinking or mood swings. Getting started involves a short questionnaire and booking a first session so the two of them can agree goals and next steps.
