Gina Kelly works from a humanistic, client-centred perspective. She uses empathy and genuine listening to help people facing loss, depression, anxiety, stress and major life changes. Her approach is calm and respectful and focuses on each person’s unique experience.
Gina has practised as a counsellor for 10 years and holds a BA (Hons) and a diploma in humanistic counselling. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP.
Background and approach
She has worked with people dealing with bereavement, serious illness, end of life matters and long-term emotional distress. Sessions are aimed at helping people make sense of painful experiences and regain confidence in daily life. Gina listens without judgement and offers what she calls unconditional positive regard, genuineness and empathic understanding.
Together the counsellor and client look for practical ways to manage feelings and cope with the impact of problems. Her style draws on mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and feelings, and on narrative and existential ideas to explore meaning and choice. Jungian ideas are sometimes used to work with inner images and personal stories that feel important to the person.
Gina takes a holistic view of wellbeing, attending to mind, body and spirit. She offers a steady space for people to talk through worries, make sense of change and build pathways toward greater acceptance and inner calm.
Working with humanistic and mindfulness approaches online
Gina often uses client-centred therapy, which means the counsellor focuses on listening, reflection and supporting the person’s own capacity to change. This approach helps when someone needs a calm, accepting space to talk through difficult feelings and life decisions.She also incorporates mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts, bodily sensations and emotions in a non-judgemental way. Mindfulness techniques can be useful for managing anxiety, stress and painful memories by building awareness and small, practical skills.
The choice of approach is part of the work together. Gina will help clients identify which methods fit their goals, preferences and the issues they bring. That collaboration means the plan can change as the person makes progress or their needs shift.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter written check-in and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, care duties and everyday life.
