“Irina with her deep empathy, her very appropriate words and her power of synthesis on the reflections I was making, has guided me to this point of wellbeing.
It has been fundamental and great to be able to count on her!”

ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
I am a qualified counsellor with a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP - Registered Member 390955). I welcome each client with their unique experience to work together from an integrative approach to counselling. I offer a safe, warm and empathetic therapeutic environment where clients can explore their issues, work through their struggles and move towards personal growth.
EXPERIENCE
I work with clients from diverse backgrounds
and on a multitude of mental health issues and personal struggles. These can range from struggling with anxiety (including panic attacks) and/or depression (including low mood, feeling sad, suicidal thinking) to dealing with stress (in your professional and personal life), burnout, relationship and family problems, low self-esteem and low self-confidence.
I am trained in an integrative way, applying theory and practice from the Client-Centred Model (as developed by Carl Rogers) and integrating other humanistic therapies (Existential, Gestalt, Psychosynthesis) and Psychodynamic therapy. Furthermore, I have comprehensive knowledge and experience with Bereavement, Loss and Grief through the work I have been doing with the UK largest bereavement charity - Cruse Bereavement Support.
I offer counselling in three languages: English, Romanian and Spanish.

Body Image
"Irina helped me understand and face a series of quite important events that came together (pandemic, moving to a new country, work overload etc.) and that somehow were blocking me, falling into a kind of burnout or depression.
She also helped me realize that I need to learn to set limits, that I should not be so self-demanding and allow myself a little more, that there are more things in life than work."
