About Irina

Irina Florea is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who offers online sessions in English and Romanian. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, grief, low self-esteem, relationship or family strain, trauma and abuse, or difficulties with sleep and addiction. Her approach is warm and collaborative and aims to help people feel steadier and more able to cope.

Irina spends time listening to each person’s story to understand how patterns began.

Background and approach

She helps people identify repeated behaviours such as people-pleasing, avoidance, or perfectionism and then practises small, practical steps to change them. The focus is on developing clearer boundaries, calmer nervous system responses, and more confidence in day-to-day life. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current connections.

Trauma-focused methods are used when past hurts still affect present choices and feelings. Sessions also draw on client-centred and existential perspectives to keep work grounded in the person’s values and choices. Irina offers both short-term and longer-term work depending on goals.

She includes gentle body awareness, grounding and mindfulness exercises when these help clients feel more regulated. Her style is professional yet human, aiming to balance support with challenges that help people move forward. Having personal experience of building a life across cultures, she is familiar with issues of belonging, identity and loss that can come with migration.

Outside work she likes running, walking her dog, reading and spending time with family and friends.

Ways of working Irina names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Irina uses trauma-focused therapy to help people process past events that still shape their feelings and reactions, with attention to how the body and nervous system respond. Attachment-based therapy is used to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and boundary-setting, helping people build safer ways of relating. Client-centred therapy keeps sessions focused on the person's experience, with the therapist following the client's pace and priorities.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Irina will discuss different methods with clients and decide together which ones fit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that can change as people learn more about themselves.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, offering practical flexibility. Video suits deeper conversation where seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions can be an easier option when bandwidth is limited or to fit a short check-in around work. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief reflections, ongoing support between sessions or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
