About Gina
Gina Zyla is a counsellor and a member of the BACP with 14 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, stress and trauma among other concerns. Gina offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
Gina uses a mix of approaches to suit the person in front of her. She draws on client-centred ideas that put the person's experience first. She also uses cognitive behavioural approaches to help people spot patterns of thought and behaviour that cause distress. Trauma-focused and psychodynamic methods are used when past events and attachment issues need attention.
In sessions she works at a pace the client finds manageable. Conversations aim to identify practical coping strategies for day-to-day life. She also offers work around grief, self-esteem, intimacy and caregiving strain, as well as support for issues linked to addiction, chronic illness and bereavement.
Gina has formal counselling qualifications including a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling level 5 and relevant counselling skills certificates. She has many years of frontline experience with people affected by trauma and loss and keeps her practice updated with ongoing training. Her background includes use of art therapy skills and inner child work where appropriate.

How Gina blends approaches for online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. It helps people feel heard and supports them to find their own answers rather than being told what to do. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and gives practical tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what you want to achieve and try different ways of working to see what fits best. This is a collaborative process where goals and methods are reviewed together over time.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are used, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit a session around work, manage shorter check-ins more easily, or avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods like CBT exercises or client-centred talking work to remote appointments, and the focus remains on practical support and coping strategies.
