About Gina

Gina Zyla is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has 14 years of experience. She works in the United Kingdom and helps people with common difficulties such as anxiety, depression, stress and relationship concerns, including anger and grief.

Gina keeps sessions straightforward. She uses a mixture of approaches and talks with each person about what they want to change. Sessions look at how thoughts, feelings and behaviour interact and on practical steps a person can try between meetings.

Her background includes work with trauma and loss, and she brings that experience into sessions when relevant. That can mean taking things slowly, looking at how past events affect present reactions, and developing coping skills for strong emotions such as anger or intense anxiety.

Gina uses person-focused ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking. She also draws on trauma-focused methods and existential ideas depending on the issue. These are used to help with things like low self-esteem, sleep or eating difficulties, and problems with boundaries or communication.

People who come to Gina usually want clear, practical steps as well as a chance to reflect on patterns that repeat over time. She asks about what matters to each person and adapts the mix of approaches to suit those aims. Booking begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging a first session.

How her approaches work for online sessions

Gina commonly blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural therapy. Client-centred work focuses on listening and helping people set their own goals, useful for sorting out anger and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical techniques to reduce distress and change unhelpful reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gina discusses options with each person and adjusts methods based on their needs, goals and preferences. That means trying straightforward tools first and shifting the plan if something does not feel useful.

The practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments around work or family life and avoiding travel time. If you want to start, confirm the current session options before booking by checking the platform details, as formats are not specified here. Registered or accredited professionals will help agree a way of working that fits your schedule and the issues you want to address.
