About Gina

Gina Zyla is a compassionate therapist based in the United Kingdom who draws on a broad range of clinical skills to support people facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, stress, trauma and work-related pressures. With 14 years of professional experience, she aims to create a calm and empathetic environment where clients can explore feelings, understand patterns, and develop practical coping strategies that suit their lives.

Gina uses a personalised blend of therapeutic approaches to meet each person where they are. She values a collaborative relationship that helps people build resilience and self-compassion while addressing the specific impacts of loss, trauma and life transitions. Her work often focuses on restoring a sense of agency and improving emotional regulation so that daily functioning and relationships can feel more manageable.

Her training includes a BACP qualification - BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a Certificate of Proficiency, a Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, and Diplomas and Certificates in Counselling Skills at Levels 3 and 2. These qualifications reflect structured professional training in counselling practice and client work. Gina keeps her skills up to date and incorporates methods such as art therapy and inner child work where appropriate to support exploration and healing.

Gina welcomes people looking for steady, attentive support through difficult changes and intense emotions, and she offers an invitation to begin the first step toward greater wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Gina Zyla combines several established approaches to tailor therapy to each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the client leads the pace and topics; it is especially useful for building self-esteem, exploring identity, and feeling heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns through practical skills and exercises, making it effective for anxiety, depression and stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers structured ways to process and integrate traumatic experiences at a pace that feels manageable, supporting recovery from abuse, loss and overwhelming events.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Gina collaborates with each person to evaluate what fits best for their situation, goals and preferences, and she adapts methods over time as progress and needs evolve. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and useful.

Online therapy with Gina makes accessing support more flexible. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, allowing people to choose what suits their schedule and comfort. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from different locations, and integrate therapy into a busy life while working with registered professionals who tailor treatment to individual needs.
