Gina Kelly, BACP

Gina Kelly is a humanistic counsellor practising in Hampshire, United Kingdom, with over 10 years of experience supporting people through grief, loss, depression and major life changes. She holds a Diploma and a BA (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling and is accredited with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to recognised professional standards.

Her work frequently focuses on deep emotional distress including bereavement, end of life issues, illness and loss of self, alongside challenges such as anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, addiction and trauma. She also supports people who wish to explore self-understanding, build confidence and embrace change as they move forward in life.

Drawing on humanistic principles, Gina treats each person with respect and sensitivity and believes in everyone’s capacity for growth. She brings unconditional positive regard, genuineness and empathy to the therapeutic relationship and uses a holistic lens that honours mind, body and spirit. In practice she offers a gentle, holding space where feelings can be explored and worked through, and where practical, meaningful ways to manage life’s impact can be developed.

Gina collaborates with clients to find approaches that fit their needs and pace, helping them toward increased understanding, acceptance and a renewed sense of direction.

Clinical approaches and the benefits of online therapy

Gina integrates client-centered therapy, existential therapy and mindfulness into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on offering empathic, non-judgmental listening and unconditional positive regard so clients can explore their feelings and develop greater self-understanding and confidence. Existential therapy helps people examine life purpose, freedom and responsibility when facing loss, illness or major life changes, supporting a search for meaning amid uncertainty. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple, present-focused awareness practices that can reduce rumination and increase emotional regulation when coping with anxiety, depression or grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gina works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best suit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains responsive and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible access to support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counselling into busy lives or to continue work from home. These options allow registered professionals to maintain continuity of care while accommodating different communication styles and practical needs.
