About Cleo
Cleo Irish Zorrilla uses psychodynamic and solution-focused approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety and life changes. She is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. Cleo aims to offer calm, straightforward support when things feel overwhelming.
She works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and sleep or eating difficulties. Relationship and family issues are also part of her practice, along with parenting strain, grief and coping with midlife questions.
Background and approach
Cleo also supports people dealing with panic, phobias, ADHD and mood shifts. Cleo draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat in a person's life and what early experiences might mean now. She pairs that with a solution-focused outlook that helps people identify small, practical steps they can try between sessions.
Together these ways of working aim to balance understanding with action. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. Cleo encourages clear goals and short-term experiments as well as deeper reflection when needed.
Her four years of work in the field give her practical experience in guiding people through change. Her practice is delivered in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
Costs vary with location and sessions run on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches Cleo lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How Cleo works online
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and style. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs shift and progress is reviewed.
The biography does not specify which online formats are used, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy life - it can make it easier to arrange appointments around work, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also allows conversations to continue for international clients who want to work with a UK-based counsellor. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt psychodynamic reflection and solution-focused tasks to a remote setting so practical steps and deeper reflection remain possible.
