Irina Florea

Irina Florea is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem. Irina helps individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted to find steadiness and clearer ways forward.

She uses a warm, collaborative style that balances support with challenge. Sessions focus on understanding the life experiences that shaped repeating patterns. Irina offers practical tools alongside gentle body-awareness and grounding exercises to help with emotional regulation.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and psychodynamic thinking to look at early relationships and how they influence current feelings and behaviours. She also uses client-centred methods to keep the person’s priorities central, and existential ideas to explore meaning and life choices.

Irina holds BACP accreditation, and has four years of counselling experience. She speaks English and Romanian and brings an awareness of cultural transition to her work, including the challenges of leaving one country to build a life in another.

People come to Irina for many concerns: relationship and family difficulty, grief, trauma, addiction, parenting strain, sleeping problems, career stress, ADHD-related challenges and coping with big life changes. Her style is practical, person-focused and grounded in everyday explanations rather than jargon.

How Irina’s approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work focuses on relationships formed early in life and how they shape current emotional patterns. It helps people understand why they feel unsafe or disconnected and offers ways to build steadier ways of relating to themselves and others.

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and follows the client’s priorities to help them make sense of their feelings and choices.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Irina will discuss different approaches with the person and decide together what best fits their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative conversation can shift as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant.

For practicalities, please confirm the current session options before booking as the biography does not list formats here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling around work or childcare. Some people prefer shorter audio check-ins when video feels tiring, while others choose a full video session for a deeper conversation. These choices aim to help therapy join everyday life rather than add to the burden.
