Irina Florea
Support for anxiety, trauma and life change
About Irina
Irina Florea offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship concerns. She helps with burnout, low self-esteem, addictions, sleeping problems, parenting stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related difficulties. Irina works in English and Romanian and carries a BACP credential.
She is based in the United Kingdom and brings four years of practice experience to her work. Her approach is warm and collaborative. Sessions aim to make sense of what keeps someone stuck.
Background and approach
Irina listens for recurring patterns, then helps people test small, practical changes that feel doable in daily life. She draws on attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. Client-centred principles guide the pace, so every conversation follows the person’s priorities.
Existential themes - such as meaning, choice and identity - may also appear when people face big life changes. Therapy often mixes talking with simple, body-focused exercises to help regulate overwhelming feelings. Irina uses grounding and mindfulness tools alongside structured work on boundaries, communication and coping strategies.
The aim is steadiness and clearer decision-making rather than quick fixes. Irina understands the strain of living between cultures and the losses that can come with moving country. That experience informs her sensitivity to identity, belonging and family of origin issues.
She writes plainly and keeps sessions focused on what will help week to week. Practical details are handled through an online booking process. Sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

How these therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions can explore patterns of trust, closeness and boundaries and help people try new ways of relating in day-to-day life.Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor follows what matters most to the individual, offering gentle reflection and support to help people find their own answers during conversation.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Irina will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will adapt methods collaboratively. Together they agree what to try and when to change direction if something is not helpful.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls recreate face-to-face interaction for longer work, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days, and live chat or text-based messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping continuity of care.
