About Gina
Gina Zyla is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has 14 years of clinical experience. She works in the United Kingdom and supports adults with anxiety, depression, relationship issues and trauma-related concerns. Gina also helps with stress, grief and problems such as codependency and self-esteem.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions let people talk about what is worrying them and try out different ways of coping. She draws on client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural techniques to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and develop manageable steps forward.
Gina has background experience working with trauma and loss and uses trauma-focused methods when needed. She also brings psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns that repeat in relationships and life choices. Existential perspectives are used to look at meaning, values and choices when clients are facing major life changes.
She describes working at a pace that feels comfortable and helps people build coping strategies for everyday life. Techniques mentioned in her practice include art therapy skills and inner child work as ways to access feelings and memories.
Practical matters are clear: sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and international clients are accepted. People who want to start are invited to use the online matching tool and schedule a first session after completing a short questionnaire.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says so they can make sense of feelings and choices. It helps when someone needs acceptance and a clearer sense of their own priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is practical and helps with anxiety, depression and everyday coping by identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavioural changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and decide together which fits the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process allows adjustments as goals change or new issues emerge.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited and remove travel time so people can use a break during the day. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often blend talking work with practical CBT tasks, trauma-focused steps or reflective psychodynamic conversation to suit what the client needs.
