About Irina

Irina Florea works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, addiction and trauma-related issues, using attachment-informed and client-centred ways of working. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience in practice.

Irina offers a straightforward, collaborative approach. She and the client look at the patterns that keep causing pain, and then try practical steps to change them. Sessions include talking together, noticing how the body responds, and learning simple grounding or mindfulness tools to ease intense feelings.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas and psychodynamic thinking to explore how early relationships have shaped current patterns. She also uses client-centred and existential perspectives to help people clarify what matters to them and make meaningful choices. Imago relationship ideas inform work on communication and connection in close relationships.

Irina has experience supporting people with ADHD, burnout, perfectionism and complex family dynamics. She also works with issues linked to migration and living across cultures, recognising the grief and identity shifts that can follow moving country. Sessions can be short or longer term depending on goals and needs.

She offers therapy in English and Romanian and practices in the United Kingdom. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats through the booking process.

How Irina applies therapeutic approaches in online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current feelings and reactions; online sessions can use this to map those patterns and try new ways of relating. Client-centred counselling focuses on the person’s own priorities and pace, offering reflective listening and space to set goals together. Psychodynamic ideas help notice repeating themes from the past and how they play out now, which can be discussed and understood remotely.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and together agree which methods fit the person's needs, goals and preferences. That choice may change over time as sessions reveal what helps most.

Confirm session formats before booking since they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also offers flexibility for people living in different parts of the UK. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find remote sessions useful for maintaining continuity of care while balancing everyday commitments.
