About Irina
Irina Florea is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She offers a warm, clear and collaborative approach for people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain. Irina speaks English and Romanian and brings four years of clinical experience to her work.
People come to her with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, grief, addictions and trauma. She also supports concerns such as relationship strain, sleep problems, parenting stresses, career uncertainty and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Additional areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, eating-related concerns and family of origin matters. Her sessions focus on understanding the story behind repeated patterns. Irina listens without judgement and helps clients bring clarity to where patterns began.
She combines practical exercises with gentle body-awareness techniques to help people feel more steady and regulated. Her therapeutic style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She offers structured work when it helps, and a sensitive, exploratory stance when that is needed.
Work can be short term or longer term depending on what a person wants to achieve. Irina has experience with neurodiversity and ADHD, and she is affirming of LGBT identities. Her personal experience of living between countries informs conversations about belonging, identity and cultural change.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Irina works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the specific concerns someone brings. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt the work as needs change, so the process feels collaborative rather than prescribed.
Please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier by removing travel time and allowing meetings from different locations. It can also offer flexible ways to check in on difficult days, and shorter or focused sessions when people need brief support. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt grounding exercises, reflective conversation and practical tools to work well at a distance while helping clients build steady routines and clearer coping strategies.
