About Iris
Iris Guenther is a counsellor who uses trauma-focused and evidence-informed approaches to help people navigate difficult life moments. She brings four years of professional experience and works with clients on stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting concerns and self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English, French and German and take place online through video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
In sessions she aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about painful memories and current struggles.
Background and approach
Iris uses a mix of methods such as Trauma-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to match each person's needs. That means practical tools and chances to notice what matters most in life. She also pays attention to attachment-related issues and patterns that come from abandonment experiences.
This helps when relational worries, intimacy concerns or compassion fatigue are present. Iris works with challenges like panic attacks, social anxiety, sleep or eating difficulties and coping with big life changes. As a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy member she lists BACP as her credential.
Her approach combines client-centred listening with structured strategies so people can try things between sessions. She describes therapy as a partnership where small steps add up. To begin, users follow the platform's process to match with her and schedule sessions.
Costs vary by location and are managed through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions aligned with those values. Online ACT sessions often focus on simple exercises, mindfulness practice and planning small, doable steps to reduce suffering and increase meaning.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process distressing memories and reduce their everyday impact. In an online format this can mean paced conversations, grounding exercises and skills to manage overwhelming feelings between sessions.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and where they began. Working online, the counsellor and client can identify unhelpful relational habits and practise new ways of connecting and setting boundaries.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Iris will help clients choose methods that fit their goals, needs and preferences. This is done collaboratively so the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls suit richer conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a quicker check-in and messaging supports brief moments of reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and life commitments.
