Gina Hickey

I see clients Tuesday and Wednesday.  A regular day and time will be agreed at the onset of the work, so that counselling can become a regular part of your routine.  However, I understand that life can get in the way at times and I will always endeavour to be flexible when I can.

No current availability.

My name is Gina and I am a psychodynamic counsellor based in Stevenage. I offer counselling to adults on a one to one basis and also couples. 

The aim of my practice is to provide you with emotional support when you need it the most, because something is feeling very difficult in your life. Talking therapy gives you the space, support and most importantly, time to explore and begin to have a greater understanding of what you are feeling and why. You may have a specific problem that is emotionally challenging and distressing, or you may be struggling with a more specific issue in your life. However, it might also be something you cannot quite put your finger on, but you just feel unfulfilled and want to gain some self awareness to enhance your life and relationships. If any of this is you, talking therapy can offer you a regular commitment of weekly counselling. It can be either on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period, with the aim of enabling you to live your life more fully. 

I understand that the initial step can feel daunting. You may be feeling confused and anxious and the thought of reaching out for help may seem overwhelming. As a therapist, I am committed to providing counselling in a relaxed, safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment.

So, if you are currently experiencing a difficult time in your life, where you feel in need of some much needed emotional support, I look forward to hearing from you, in order that I may start to provide that for you.

My role as your counsellor, whether as an individual or a couple, is to help broaden out your story so that we may begin to experience a bigger picture of what is going on for you.  I aim to help you make connections of what may have happened in the past and how it is playing out in the here and now.  In this way, you can hopefully begin to accept what has passed and start reframe how you feel about yourself and how you see your life.
