About Irina

Irina Florea is a counsellor registered with the BACP - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has four years' experience and works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, family and relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, addiction, trauma and anger among other concerns.

She often helps people who feel exhausted, overwhelmed or stuck. Irina looks at where repeated patterns come from and helps clients develop clear, practical ways to respond differently. Sessions are described in plain terms and focus on making sense of history as well as what is happening now.

Her working style is collaborative and straightforward. She mixes talking therapy with grounding and body-awareness techniques to help with regulation and noticing how stress shows up in the body. Practical tools and a simple session structure are part of the work.

Irina draws on attachment and psychodynamic ideas to look at early relationships and their effect on adult life. She also uses client-centred and existential approaches to explore meaning, values and how clients want to live. Where relevant, Imago ideas are used to look at relationship patterns and communication difficulties.

She mentions experience with neurodiversity, ADHD, burnout and complex family dynamics. Irina also references working across cultures and the particular challenges of moving between countries, including questions of belonging and identity. The aim is clearer understanding and steadier ways of responding to anger, stress and everyday pressures.

How sessions work

How Irina uses therapeutic models online

Attachment-based work looks at early relationship patterns and how they influence current reactions. It helps with anger that comes from fear of abandonment, control issues or difficulties trusting others. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's experience and pace, offering a listening-based approach that supports people to find their own solutions. Existential therapy explores meaning, responsibility and choices, which can be useful when anger links to life transitions or feeling stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which combination of methods best fits the issues you bring. That way the work stays collaborative and responsive to what proves most helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use techniques like grounding or body-awareness exercises in the moment, and makes it practical to continue work across different life situations. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt tools and pacing for remote sessions to match each client's needs.
