Irina Florea

Before deciding to commence therapy, I offer an initial assessment session. 

Our initial session lasts 50 minutes during which we can explore what your current struggles are, how we could work together in therapy, answer any questions you may have about therapy or working with me. It is also an opportunity to see if we're a good fit as it's important for you to feel safe and comfortable in our work, and for me to make sure I can offer the right support you need.  

​Initial assessment session - £45 per 50-minute session (online or in-person in Frome or in Bristol).

Please email or text me if you would like a short call (10 minutes) prior to arranging an assessment session. 

​If we decide to work together, rates for subsequent therapy sessions are:

​Frome - £60 per 50-minute session

Bristol - £60 per 50-minute session

​Online - £55 per 50-minute session

​I'm also an affiliate therapist with WPA Health Insurance. If your sessions are covered through workplace benefits, please get in touch with me for more details.

I offer online therapy (via video calls) and in person sessions at my private practice based in Frome, Somerset.

Every Tuesday, I offer in-person sessions in Bristol.

In Bristol, I work in 2 areas: Redcliffe and Montpelier.

Please contact me to discuss available slots. 

Therapy for adults of all ages with a focus on strengthening self-confidence and self-esteem, developing healthy and positive habits and behaviours, while addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, burnout, ADHD, surviving abuse, self-harm, relationship and family issues, loss and grief.

I am a qualified counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).

I offer online therapy (via video calls) or in-person sessions at my private practice based in Frome, Somerset.

Every Tuesday, I have availability for in-person sessions in Bristol (Redcliffe and Montpelier area). 

Depending on circumstances, I also offer telephone sessions.  

I offer a safe therapeutic space for LGBTQ+ people and aim to support inclusion and diversity around gender, biological sex diversity and sexuality. 

Furthermore, I have experience in supporting clients as they learn how to manage ADHD (pre or post diagnosis) and with the feelings that result from it.

I am trained in an integrative way, applying theory and practice from the Client-Centred Model and integrating other humanistic therapies (Existential, Gestalt, Psychosynthesis) and Psychodynamic therapy. Furthermore, I have comprehensive knowledge and experience with Bereavement, Loss and Grief through the work I have been doing with the UK largest bereavement charity - Cruse Bereavement Support.

Working with a variety of struggles that follow loss and grief, I turned my attention to other therapeutic models and specialisms - Polyvagal Theory, Attachment Theory, Trauma-Informed Care, Transactional Analysis, Internal Family Systems. To support long-lasting results in therapy for my clients, I add elements of Mindfulness and Meditation, with attention to integrating breathing and body-based techniques in the therapeutic process. 

I offer counselling in three languages: English, Spanish and Romanian.

If you found your way to my page, you may be going through a difficult time in your life.

You may be experiencing one or several of the following:

• Feeling overwhelmed, always tired but in a rush towards the next thing to do
• Emotional or mental exhaustion as a result of the restlessness
• Frantic, anxious and easily irritable
• You have frequent outbursts which you later regret
• A sense that it's never enough, that you aren't doing enough
• Snappy, short-fused that leads to difficulties in relationships with others (partner, children, parents, friends, work)
• Trouble sleeping or resting as your mind is constantly busy (aka "monkey mind")
• Aware of your self-sabotaging behaviour, but can't find a way to stop
• You worry a lot about what others think of you, find yourself ruminating over past events or conversations and, as a result of this, you've noticed you don't know how to say "no" and have become a "people-pleaser"
• You see yourself as a "high achiever" and constantly put considerable effort in everything you do which also leads to stress and burnout
• You struggle with the imposter syndrome and all its pitfalls: procrastination, fear of making mistakes, feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, and self-doubt
• Find it hard to relax, have fun, let go of the never-ending to-do list or stop the worry-mill

If any of the above sound familiar and are interfering with your daily life, therapy can help. 

As each client is unique, there is no set number of sessions that fits all. I offer open-ended therapy (may be short or long term), which means we will tailor the frequency and number of sessions to your individual needs. I recommend we have regular reviews and together decide what best supports your therapeutic journey and personal development.

• Clear and accessible digital resources (through a secure platform in the form of My Toolbox) that will support our work
• Tools and techniques so you can develop healthier and more effective coping mechanisms for dealing with stress, difficult emotions, and challenging situations
