Gina Kelly, BACP

Gina Kelly is a humanistic counsellor based in Hampshire, UK, with more than 10 years of clinical experience supporting people through deep emotional challenges and life transitions. She holds a BA (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling, an undergraduate degree in counselling studies, and a professional diploma in humanistic counselling, and she is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Gina has spent much of her practice working with clients confronting depression, profound sadness, bereavement, illness and end of life concerns, alongside people seeking greater self-understanding, personal growth and renewed confidence.

Gina’s approach is rooted in humanistic values that recognise each person’s inherent worth and capacity for growth. She offers non-judgmental care, genuine engagement and what humanistic practice calls unconditional positive regard, creating a space where clients are treated with sensitivity and respect. Her work takes a holistic view, attending to mind, body and spirit to support a sense of wholeness and wellbeing.

In session Gina provides calm, supportive holding and a listening space where clients can talk through worries, losses and identity changes. She collaborates with people to explore more helpful ways of managing the effects of life events, aiming to foster understanding, acceptance and, where possible, a greater sense of inner peace. She practices in a manner that values each person’s unique timing and way of experiencing emotional healing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Gina Kelly

Gina integrates client-centered and existential perspectives alongside mindfulness-based ideas to guide her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasises empathy, acceptance and a collaborative relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports clients as they discover their own solutions - it can help with low self-esteem, relationship issues and managing life changes. Existential therapy invites exploration of meaning, responsibility and choice, offering space to face grief, loss and major life transitions with honesty and clarity. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness practices that support calmer responses to stress, anxiety and chronic health challenges by encouraging present-moment attention and self-compassion.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Gina works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting the work as understanding deepens and priorities shift. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what matters most to the client.

Online therapy with Gina is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Remote sessions make it easier to access regular support without travel, allowing continuity of care during busy or challenging periods and enabling therapy to become a practical part of everyday life.
