Irina Florea , BACP

Irina Florea is a UK-based counsellor registered with the BACP, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She offers individual and couple therapy online and in person, and brings a warm, clear and collaborative style to her work that balances professional skill with human connection.

People who come to Irina often arrive feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in repeating patterns such as feeling "never enough" or being constantly on the go. She supports clients in tracing where those patterns began and in developing practical, manageable steps toward steadiness, clarity and renewed confidence. Her approach is trauma-informed and grounded in attachment and self-awareness, blending gentle body-awareness, grounding and mindfulness practices with structured, practical tools.

Irina has experience working with a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, low self-esteem, addictions, parenting challenges, ADHD and complex family dynamics. She also focuses on themes such as abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, and navigating life between cultures, drawing on her own experience of moving between countries to understand questions of belonging and identity.

Irina works with both short and long-term goals and integrates somatic practices to help clients reconnect with their bodies and regulation. More information is available at www.irinaflorea.com.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Irina draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional responses. This approach helps people understand feelings of abandonment, attachment concerns and recurring relationship dynamics, and supports building more secure ways of connecting.

She also uses client-centered therapy, offering an accepting, non-judgmental stance that prioritizes the client's experience and pace. This method is useful for work on self-esteem, life transitions, grief and finding clarity about personal values and goals.

Irina approaches the selection of techniques collaboratively, recognizing that finding the right therapeutic fit is part of the process. Licensed professionals and therapists work with clients to tailor approaches based on individual needs, goals and preferences, and Irina will help explore which methods feel most helpful for each person.

Online therapy with Irina is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes, balance therapy with work or family commitments, and access support from wherever the client is located in the United Kingdom.
