About Irina
Irina Florea is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with young adults and others facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma, addictions and life changes. Irina offers therapy in English and Romanian and draws on several approaches to help people find steadiness and clarity.
Irina uses a collaborative style that balances support with challenge. Sessions focus on understanding where repeated patterns come from and developing practical ways to change them. She pays attention to how past relationships and attachment shapes present behaviour and relationships.
Her work often includes trauma-informed methods and psychodynamic ideas to look at early influences and recurring themes. Client-centred principles guide sessions so the person's own goals and pace shape the work. Existential ideas are used to consider meaning, choices and the pressures of early adulthood.
Irina often brings simple body-awareness and grounding practices into talks when people feel overwhelmed or disconnected. She includes straightforward tools and a clear session structure so people can practise new ways of coping between sessions. Issues such as perfectionism, burnout, ADHD-related struggles and neurodiversity are noted as part of the picture she works with.
Having experienced migration herself, Irina understands the disorientation of moving between cultures and can help with questions of identity, belonging and loss. The therapy aims to increase confidence, build healthier boundaries and help people make practical changes in day-to-day life.
How Irina’s approaches translate to online therapy
Irina combines attachment-informed work with client-centred and existential ideas to help people make sense of relationships, identity and life choices. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current trust, boundaries and emotional responses and helps with relationship and family difficulties. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and the person’s own goals, giving space to set the pace and priorities of the work. Existential therapy examines meaning, choices and responsibilities and can be useful for people feeling lost after university, career changes or big life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Irina will discuss goals, difficulties and preferences and together they decide which combination of methods feels most useful. That collaborative process helps shape the structure and tools used in sessions, and it can change as needs evolve.
