About Gina

Gina Zyla is a counsellor with 14 years' experience who works from the United Kingdom. She holds a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Gina focuses on helping people recover from trauma, manage anxiety and depression, and cope with relationship and work-related stress.

Her approach is practical and person-centred. She listens first and uses different ways of working that suit each person.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to help people understand their reactions, build coping skills, and find clearer ways to manage day-to-day pressures. Gina draws on trauma-focused methods alongside client-centred conversations and cognitive behavioural techniques. She also uses ideas from psychodynamic and existential work when they are helpful.

Art-based exercises and inner-child work are sometimes used as part of the healing process. People contact her for a wide range of concerns including grief, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness, addiction and communication difficulties. Gina also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment issues and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are offered in English and can take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. International clients are accepted. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions according to her schedule.

Gina aims to create a calm, accepting space where people can go at their own pace, develop resilience and practise new ways of coping.

Ways of working Gina names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Gina’s approaches translate to online therapy

Gina commonly uses trauma-focused therapy, client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy. Trauma-focused therapy helps people process distressing experiences and reduce the intensity of difficult memories. Client-centred work prioritises the person’s own pace and perspective, offering compassionate listening and encouragement. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour, teaching practical techniques to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Gina works collaboratively to identify which methods suit each person’s needs, goals and preferences, and adapts them as therapy progresses. She explains options and checks in regularly to ensure the work still feels helpful.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be useful when less bandwidth is needed, live chat offers a shorter written check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while maintaining regular contact with a therapist or counsellor.
