About Irina
Irina Florea is a counsellor (BACP) based in the United Kingdom. She offers online support and draws on several approaches to help people facing anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, burnout and relationship or family tensions. Irina writes plainly and works in a collaborative way, aiming to help people feel steadier and clearer about next steps.
She commonly helps people who feel overwhelmed, never enough, emotionally exhausted or stuck in repeating patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on making sense of where those patterns come from and on building practical steps to change day-to-day habits. Work can be short term or longer depending on goals. Irina’s manner is warm, direct and curious.
She combines trauma-informed thinking with attachment-aware ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. The room is intended to be non-judgemental and LGBTQ+ affirming. Her practice includes gentle body-awareness and grounding exercises alongside talking.
These somatic techniques aim to help people notice physical cues and find calm more quickly. Irina also offers tools for clearer boundaries, communication and coping with life transitions. As someone who has moved between countries, she pays attention to cultural and belonging issues that arise when identity shifts.
That background informs conversations about migration, loss of familiar ground and adjusting roles. Outside work she likes running, long walks with her dog and time with friends and family. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions to suit their situation.

Online support
Therapy approaches online and how they can help
Existential therapy focuses on meaning, choice and facing life transitions. It helps people who feel stuck, empty or unsure about direction by looking at values, freedom and responsibility in everyday choices.Attachment-based therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help when people repeat unhelpful relationship behaviours, struggle with trust, or find it hard to feel emotionally steady with others.
Client-centred therapy centres the person’s own experience and pace. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what is said and supports people to find their own solutions and strengths.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods as the work progresses. This means the focus can shift from short-term coping tools to deeper exploration as required.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video suits face-to-face style conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for short check-ins, and messaging works well for ongoing written reflections. These options let people fit sessions around work, family and travel while keeping continuity of care.
