About Irina

She also works with grief, trauma and burnout, and helps people coping with life changes or challenges like ADHD and addictions. Irina writes in a warm, straightforward way and aims to help people find steadiness and clearer direction.

She listens for where patterns began and how they keep showing up now.

Sessions combine conversation with simple grounding and body-awareness exercises when useful.

How therapeutic approaches come alive online

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people look at how early connections affect current relationships. It focuses on emotional patterns and helps when people feel clingy, distant, or worried about closeness.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre. The counsellor listens without judging and follows your pace, which can help with self-esteem, anxiety and finding clearer direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Choices can be adjusted as you go, so sessions stay useful and relevant.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue work if you are living between places or have limited time during the day. Registered or accredited professionals, including this counsellor, often adapt exercises, grounding techniques and conversational work to suit an online setting so therapy can feel practical and relevant to everyday life.
