About Irma

Irma Goodwin is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She brings four years of clinical experience and a calm, straightforward manner to each session. People often come to her feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to begin, and she focuses on practical steps to move forward.

Her work emphasises the client’s own knowledge of their life. She treats people as the expert in their story and builds on their strengths.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to identify manageable goals, develop coping strategies, and restore a sense of control and motivation. Irma uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address issues such as panic attacks, mood problems and sleeping difficulties. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, LGBT concerns, compassion fatigue and career stress.

The approach is adaptable and aimed at what the person needs most in the moment. Her training is recorded with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That membership signals a commitment to professional standards in the UK.

Irma works with adults and accepts clients from the UK and internationally via online formats. In sessions she offers clear, practical tools alongside reflective conversation. Typical sessions may include breathing and grounding practices, behavioural steps to reduce avoidance, and talking exercises to reframe harsh self-judgements.

The focus is on steady progress and realistic changes that fit everyday life.

How evidence-based methods translate to online therapy

Irma uses well-established therapeutic techniques framed in clear, practical terms. One approach focuses on behavioural steps and activity planning to reduce avoidance and lift low mood; this helps when someone is stuck in unhelpful routines or struggling with motivation. Another common approach involves grounding and breathing practices alongside talking work to ease panic attacks and strong anxiety symptoms; these tools give immediate options for calming the body and mind in the moment.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which techniques suit their situation, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted over time based on what is helpful.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy and geographically distant people. Video calls let the therapist and client meet face to face from different locations, while phone sessions are useful when a video call is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, written reflection, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit regular sessions into a routine and to keep therapeutic progress moving forward.
