Welcome to Gina's Therapeutic Counselling.

I am Gina, a dedicated therapist with a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling with experience in addressing a wide range of mental health issues. My passion lies in supporting you on your journey to healing.

Specialisation

I specialise in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress management, trauma and work-related stress. I recognise the unique challenges these experiences bring. My goal is to provide a safe and empathetic space for you to explore your emotions and work towards resilience.

I have over 20 years frontline experience working with those who have experienced trauma and loss. Healing from trauma is a journey and it's important to go at a pace that's comfortable for you. I will provide a safe space for you to explore and process your experiences. You are not alone in this. Together, we will work on building coping strategies. Finding healthy ways to manage your emotions and reactions can make a significant difference in your life. Understanding how trauma and loss has affected you can be a powerful tool in moving forward. We can explore this in a way that feels safe for you.

I will work to build a trusting relationship with you which will allow you to feel comfortable discussing your experiences and emotions. You will develop resilience and self-compassion as you go through the healing process.

Training, qualifications & experience

The therapy is all about you and what you want to talk about. I use different types of therapy which will be personalised for you. You will see yourself as someone that can change, even if you feel it is unchangeable. You will be accepted for who you are, not who you feel you should be which is healing.

I update my training on a regular basis and use it in my day to day practice, adapting it to the unique needs of each client I work with. I use skills such as Art Therapy and inner child work.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
