Gina Kelly
Gentle humanistic counselling for life changes
About Gina
Gina Kelly uses a humanistic, person-centred approach to counselling. She offers calm, respectful support for people facing sadness, loss, depression and major life changes. Gina aims to create a steady, non-judgemental space where someone can talk through what matters to them and begin to move forward.
Gina holds a BA (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling and has practised for 10 years in the United Kingdom. Much of her work has involved grief, end of life issues, chronic illness and deep emotional unrest.
Background and approach
She also supports people exploring their identity, self-esteem and personal growth. Her sessions emphasise empathy, genuineness and unconditional positive regard. She listens without judgement and helps people notice strengths and choices they may have missed.
The tone is gentle and steady rather than directive. Gina blends humanistic ideas with mindfulness and narrative elements to help people make sense of painful experiences. Motivational interviewing principles can be used when someone wants help with change, such as addiction or behaviour shifts.
Jungian ideas may be drawn on to look at deeper themes and personal stories. People can expect a holistic focus on mind, body and emotion. Sessions are practical and conversational, with time spent understanding current struggles and trying small, realistic steps forward.
The aim is calmer coping, clearer direction and greater self-understanding. Gina works in English and practises across a wide range of concerns including anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma, anger, career questions and compassion fatigue. She offers online formats that suit different needs and routines.

Sessions & fees
Online counselling approaches and practical access
Gina often works from a client-centred standpoint, which means sessions focus on what matters to the person and aim to build understanding through empathic listening and acceptance. This approach suits people facing grief, depression or low self-esteem who need a steady, respectful space to talk.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and bodily responses in the moment. Mindfulness can assist with anxiety, stress and coping with chronic illness by offering simpler ways to calm and re-focus. Elements of motivational interviewing are used when someone wants help making a change, such as addressing addictive behaviour or increasing confidence to try new directions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and will adapt methods collaboratively rather than imposing a single style. Clients and therapist decide together which tools feel most helpful as therapy unfolds.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins and messaging allows flexible check-ins across the week. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, health needs and family commitments.
