Irina Florea is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of practice experience. She works with people who are carrying heavy stress, anxiety, grief or low self-esteem and helps them find steadiness again. She also supports those dealing with addiction, sleep problems, parenting strain, relationship worries and trauma-related issues.

Her approach is warm and collaborative. Irina spends time listening to each person’s story and then helps them spot the patterns that keep showing up.

Background and approach

The work is practical and gentle - clients learn tools for grounding, noticing how the body responds, and calming overwhelming feelings. Sessions blend talking with simple body-awareness exercises and mindfulness. Irina draws on ideas from attachment work and psychodynamic thinking to understand how early relationships shape current reactions.

She also uses client-centred and existential ideas to keep the focus on what matters to the person now. Irina is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She offers therapy in English and Romanian and has experience supporting people who have moved between countries and cultures.

This can include exploring identity, loss, and changing roles after relocation. Therapy can be short or longer term depending on what the person needs. Practical structuring and clear steps are offered alongside reflective work so people can build clarity and confidence.

Irina aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where progress feels steady and realistic.

How attachment and client-centred ideas work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current reactions and closeness with others. Online sessions can map those patterns through conversation and reflection, helping people notice familiar ways of reacting and try different responses in daily life.

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, offering empathic listening and support without pressure. This approach helps people clarify their own values and choices, which can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions and decision-making.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences and what feels helpful in practice. That may mean combining attachment work, psychodynamic reflection or client-centred listening over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and clearer non-verbal cues. Phone sessions work well when video is difficult or bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, reflections between sessions or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel, while keeping continuity of care.
