About Gina
Gina Zyla is a counsellor with a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a BACP credential. She has worked in the field for 14 years and focuses on helping people who are navigating anxiety, depression and stress. Gina aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable. She uses a calm, steady manner to help people feel heard and understood.
Gina draws on a range of therapeutic styles to match what each person needs. Sessions commonly involve talking through current problems, noticing patterns that keep difficulties going, and trying small, practical steps to feel better. She also uses creative techniques such as art-based exercises and inner-child work when these fit a person’s needs.
People who come to Gina often want help after losses, traumatic events or relationship strain. She helps people work through grief, trauma and compassion fatigue at a pace they find manageable. Her approach aims to support practical coping, improved emotion regulation, and gradually building resilience.
Gina describes therapy as a collaboration. She pays attention to how a person experiences their difficulties and adjusts the way she works over time. That may mean using cognitive behavioural ideas some weeks and a more exploratory, psychodynamic focus in others.
She works in the United Kingdom and welcomes people who prefer sessions in English. To start, readers are invited to follow the site process to request a match and schedule sessions according to availability.

How Gina's approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflecting feelings and helping them make sense of their own experience. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship strain and grief. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses clear tools and exercises to test unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills, which can help with anxiety, depression and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gina will talk with the person about goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those aims. That collaboration means some weeks might use practical CBT tasks and other times a more exploratory client-centred or psychodynamic focus depending on progress and need.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when helpful or reduce the need to be on camera for people who prefer audio-only contact. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and creative tools for remote work so therapy remains practical and goal-focused.
