Irina Florea, BACP

Irina Florea is a counsellor (BACP) based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions and relationship or family difficulties. Irina also supports those coping with low self-esteem, burnout, ADHD-related challenges and career or life changes.

Irina uses a warm, collaborative style that balances support with gentle challenge. She helps people make sense of repeating patterns and what shaped them. Sessions focus on practical steps alongside reflection so clients can feel steadier and more confident.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and psychodynamic thinking to explore early relationships and patterns. She also uses client-centred and existential principles to keep the work centred on each person’s values and choices. Imago relationship ideas inform how she addresses communication and connection in close relationships.

Irina works in a trauma-informed way and includes simple body-awareness and grounding practices when helpful. These are taught in short, practical exercises and woven into talking therapy rather than presented as standalone techniques.

She has four years of experience and holds BACP membership, which is noted as BACP. Sessions are conducted in English and Romanian. The biography notes experience across cultural transition and migration, which Irina brings into conversations about identity and belonging.

To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule sessions. The therapist aims to offer a steady, compassionate space for people to explore difficult feelings and find clearer ways forward.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape present patterns. Online conversations help people notice how they connect, withdraw or seek safety, and then try different responses in day-to-day life. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor listening closely and reflecting back so clients can find their own answers and priorities. Psychodynamic ideas look at repeated patterns and where they come from, helping people see long-standing habits and start to change them.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then agree together on a way of working. That collaboration helps shape whether the work is shorter and practical or more exploratory and longer term.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue therapy while managing relocation or changing life demands. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt grounding practices, reflective conversation and relational focus to work effectively across distance.
