Irina Florea, BACP

Irina Florea is a counsellor (BACP) practising in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, relationship and family difficulties, addiction concerns, trauma and life changes. Her approach is warm and collaborative, aiming to help people feel steadier and more confident over time.

She asks questions about the stories that shaped recurring patterns, such as feeling ‘‘never enough’’ or being emotionally exhausted. Sessions include practical tools and simple structure to help people make small, steady changes. Irina draws on body-awareness exercises and grounding techniques to help with regulation when anxiety or overwhelm feel intense.

Irina works in an inclusive and LGBTQ+ affirming way and is trauma-informed. She pays attention to attachment patterns and how early relationships influence current difficulties. Her style is professional yet human, offering both support and gentle challenge as needed.

She also understands the experience of living between cultures and the mix of loss and growth that can bring. That lived perspective informs conversations about belonging, identity and change for people who have moved country or navigate multiple cultural backgrounds.

With four years of experience and a BACP registration, she offers short or longer-term work depending on each person’s goals. To begin, people follow the site process to match with her and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It looks at connection, trust and the ways people respond when they feel unsafe, which can help with relationship difficulties and attachment worries.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions. The therapist offers empathy and acceptance while people lead the pace, helping with low self-worth, decision-making and finding clearer direction.

Existential Therapy invites exploration of meaning, choice and identity. It can be useful when people face big life transitions, questions about purpose, or a sense of emptiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify what feels most helpful, adapting methods over time based on goals and preferences.

Confirm which session formats are available before booking as the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for a calmer check-in between commitments. Shorter sessions or audio-only options can also suit people who need a quicker way to connect. Discussing practical needs at the start helps tailor sessions so they fit daily life.
