Gina Kelly, BACP

Gina Kelly is a counsellor based in Hampshire in the United Kingdom with more than 10 years of clinical experience. She holds a Diploma and a BA (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling, and she is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her training and practice are informed by humanistic values that emphasise each person’s inherent worth and capacity for growth.

Much of her work has focused on people experiencing deep emotional distress, including depression, grief, loss, end of life issues, and the impact of illness. She also supports individuals who want to deepen self-understanding, embrace change, and build confidence as they move forward. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns such as stress, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, addiction, low self-esteem, career transition, and coping with life changes.

Gina adopts a respectful, non-judgmental stance and offers honest, empathic presence in the counselling relationship. She works holistically, attending to the interconnections of mind, body, and spirit, and draws on principles such as unconditional positive regard and genuineness to create a supportive holding environment. In sessions she provides a calm space to explore worries, process difficult emotions, and experiment with more helpful ways of managing challenges. She collaborates with clients to find practical and meaningful pathways toward greater acceptance, wellbeing, and inner peace, and welcomes the opportunity to work with people seeking support.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Gina Kelly

Gina Kelly integrates Client-Centred Therapy into her online work, offering an approach that centres the client’s own perspective and innate capacity for growth. This method creates a respectful, empathic space where individuals can explore feelings, clarify values, and build self-awareness, which can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship distress, and life transitions.

She also draws on Jungian ideas that attend to personal meaning, symbols, and life narratives. This perspective can support clients who wish to deepen understanding of recurrent patterns, explore identity, and find a richer sense of purpose when facing grief, existential concerns, or midlife change.

Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these approaches to help clients cultivate present-moment awareness and greater emotional regulation. Simple mindfulness practices can assist with stress, anxiety, chronic pain, and the management of overwhelming emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Gina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and responsive.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to access therapy from home or other convenient locations. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or mobility limitations while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists.
