Gina Kelly, BACP

Gina Kelly is a counsellor who uses a humanistic, person-centred style to help people work through strong emotions and big life changes. She draws on ten years of experience and holds a BACP credential and related counselling degrees. Gina aims to offer a steady, respectful space for people feeling overwhelmed by loss, illness, low mood or shifts in identity.

She has long worked with grief, bereavement and end-of-life concerns alongside depression and anxiety. Gina also supports people dealing with relationship strain, addiction, trauma and the stress of caring roles. Additional interests include ageing and geriatric issues, chronic illness and navigating difficult separations.

In sessions she offers warm, non-judgemental listening and gentle guidance. The focus is on understanding what matters to the person, and helping them notice options and choices. Sessions are paced to each person so they can explore feelings safely and at their own speed.

Gina combines reflective conversation with practical ideas to manage distress. She uses mindfulness and narrative approaches alongside client-centred principles to help people reframe painful stories and build small coping steps. Motivational techniques can be used when people want support to make changes.

Her background includes work across community settings in the United Kingdom over a decade. People who come to her often want a compassionate, steady presence while they work through loss, illness or shifts in life purpose.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own way forward; it is useful for people facing low mood, relationship strain and loss. Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and identity and can help when life changes leave someone feeling adrift or uncertain. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices and grounding techniques to reduce overwhelm and manage anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss which methods match a person’s needs, goals and preferences and will adapt the way sessions run to suit each individual. This is a collaborative process that helps shape what happens week to week.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also offers flexibility for people dealing with mobility limits or chronic illness, since appointments can be arranged around medical care or caregiving commitments.
