Background and approach

Gina draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thought patterns and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and small steps forward. Her style is person-centred and collaborative. That means clients set the pace and the work follows what matters to them.

Many people bring issues such as grief, trauma, addiction, sleep or eating difficulties, parenting stress, work pressure and questions about intimacy or self-esteem. Gina also pays attention to attachment patterns and how early relationships shape current difficulties. Sessions aim to build practical skills and new ways of responding, not just to talk about problems.

Over time clients often notice changes in how they cope and relate to others. She offers online sessions from the United Kingdom in English. Therapy may use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging under a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to availability.

How somatic work and talking therapies translate online

Somatic-informed work brings attention to bodily sensations and movement alongside conversation, helping people notice how tension and breath link to emotions and behaviour. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, chronic pain and trauma-related symptoms when people want practical ways to feel steadier in their bodies.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions. It helps when people feel stuck by painful thoughts or uncertainty and want a values-driven way to move forward.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current connections. It supports people who struggle with trust, communication or recurring relational pain by exploring patterns and trying new ways of relating.

Choosing the right mix is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match approaches to their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting methods as the therapy progresses.

Online sessions make this flexible and accessible. Video calls allow guided exercises and real-time feedback, phone sessions suit those who prefer voice contact, and live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins and between-session coaching. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life.
