About Irina
Irina Florea is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship difficulties. She also helps those dealing with burnout, codependency, parenting strain and the aftermath of trauma or major life changes. Irina works in English and Romanian and practises from the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and has four years of professional experience.
Irina aims to create a warm and straightforward space where people can make sense of repeating patterns. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as gentle reflection. She listens for the personal history behind current struggles and helps clients find small, steady changes that feel manageable.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and psychodynamic thinking to look at relationships and early influences. She also uses client-centred and existential perspectives to support personal meaning-making and choice. These methods are combined with somatic awareness and grounding practices to help regulate the nervous system.
Work can be short term or longer depending on the issue and the person’s goals. Irina describes her style as collaborative and clear, offering structure alongside compassionate challenge. She is LGBTQ+ affirming and attentive to neurodiversity, including ADHD-related needs.
Having lived between countries, she understands the particular stresses of migration, cultural change and belonging. People who want to talk about family of origin issues, attachment wounds or communication patterns may find this a useful place to start.

How Irina's approaches fit with online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current connections. It helps when feelings of abandonment, clinginess or emotional distance cause difficulty in day-to-day life. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person’s own experience, offering non-judgemental listening and support for building self-trust and clearer direction. Psychodynamic ideas look at recurring patterns and how past experiences shape present behaviour, which can be useful for understanding family of origin issues and codependency.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. This is a collaborative conversation that may change as therapy progresses, with practical tools added when helpful.
Confirm the exact session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in at lunchtime, or avoid travel time. They also let people continue work when relocating or managing complex schedules. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt grounding and somatic practices for remote work, helping clients notice bodily cues and build regulation skills between sessions.
