Gina Kelly, BACP

Gina Kelly is a counsellor who works from a humanistic perspective. She holds a BA (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling and has practised in Hampshire, United Kingdom, for over 10 years. Gina creates a calm space where people can talk through loss, grief, depression and life changes. She focuses on helping people rebuild a sense of self and move forward with greater confidence.

Gina’s approach is warm and non-judgemental. She offers what she describes as unconditional positive regard, genuineness and empathy. Sessions aim to attend to the whole person - mind, body and soul - rather than only focusing on symptoms. This means conversations can include practical coping alongside reflection on values and life meaning.

She has worked extensively with people facing bereavement, serious illness and end-of-life concerns. She also supports those dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, addiction and the emotional effects of chronic pain or long-term illness. Jealousy is listed among her focus areas where it relates to relationship distress.

Gina uses humanistic ideas alongside other approaches such as client-centred work, existential thinking, Jungian perspectives, mindfulness and motivational interviewing. These methods are blended to suit the person in front of her rather than applied rigidly. The aim is to help clients find clearer direction and kinder ways of relating to themselves.

Her background includes a decade of practice and work with a range of emotional concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. To begin, clients follow the site’s Start Therapy steps to match and schedule with her.

How Gina’s approaches translate to online counselling

Gina combines client-centred work with existential and mindfulness ideas to support people through difficult emotions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and responding with empathy to help people feel understood and explore what matters to them. Existential therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and identity, which can help when someone faces life transitions, grief or a loss of direction. Mindfulness practices bring attention to the present moment and can help reduce overwhelm, stress and anxiety by teaching simple awareness skills.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Gina will discuss what feels most useful and try different ways of working until a good fit is found. The aim is to match the methods to the person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than to stick to one model.

The original biography does not list specific online or in-person session formats, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises and reflective tasks between sessions to build steady progress over time.
