About Me


Young People’s Counsellor | MA Counselling | MBACP 

Gia Bird - Founder of and Counsellor at Aspire Counselling Service, Fleet (ACSFleet)

“My aim is to help young people feel safe, understood, supported and more confident in who they are.”

-Gia

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn? I’m here to help. I specialise in supporting children, teenagers and young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem or stress related to family life, school, college, university or work.

As a younger therapist with extensive experience in youth counselling, healthcare, and education, I understand the challenges today’s young people face.

I use an integrative approach, combining practical tools with gentle exploration of root causes, and I can work creatively if that’s of interest.

Together, we’ll set meaningful goals and build your confidence to create the life you truly want – even if you’re still discovering what that looks like.

Why I Work with Young People

Growing up can bring many challenges, from navigating friendships and relationships to managing anxiety, emotions, identity and the expectations of others. I believe every young person deserves the opportunity to be heard without judgement and to feel that their experiences matter. My expertise is neurodiversity.

I'm passionate about helping young people recognise their own strengths, develop a better understanding of themselves and explore ways to support their emotional wellbeing.

My Qualifications and Professional Membership

I hold an MA in Counselling and am a Certified Online Counsellor. I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), membership number 00990072. I hold professional insurance and have an Enhanced DBS check.

I am committed to working ethically and respectfully, with the individual needs, wellbeing and safety of each young person at the heart of my practice.
