About Gina

Gina Zyla is a United Kingdom based therapist with 14 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties. She offers a compassionate, person-focused approach that helps people explore difficult feelings, build resilience and develop practical coping strategies. Gina combines different therapeutic methods to reflect each individual’s needs, drawing on client-centered listening alongside evidence-informed techniques and trauma work to help clients find greater self-compassion and clearer ways to manage life’s challenges.

Her background includes a BACP Certificate of Proficiency, which is a recognised credential from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and a Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, together with earlier diplomas and certificates in counselling skills. Gina keeps her training up to date and incorporates additional methods such as art therapy and inner child work when these fit a client’s goals and preferences.

Gina works with a wide range of issues including grief, self-esteem, stress, eating and sleeping concerns, family and relationship problems, parenting and work-related pressures, as well as complex areas such as trauma, attachment and compassion fatigue. Her practice emphasises a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where clients are accepted as they are and supported to make the changes they seek. She offers sessions via video call, phone, live chat or in-app messaging.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Gina commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her online work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and helps people explore their feelings at their own pace while developing self-awareness and self-acceptance. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and developing practical strategies to change them - it is often useful for anxiety, depression and stress-related concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy provides structured ways to process and work through the effects of past trauma, aiming to reduce distress and strengthen coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Gina works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She introduces techniques gradually and adapts them based on what the client finds most helpful, so the therapy evolves together rather than following a fixed plan.

Online therapy with Gina is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or who live at a distance. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, try different session formats, and access support from licensed professionals and therapists in a way that fits everyday life.
