About Irina Florea
Irina Florea is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience. She works with individuals and couples, offering both online sessions and in-person meetings in Frome and Bristol. The BACP credential indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, reflecting her professional training and commitment to recognised standards.
Irina specialises in areas such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, addiction, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, parenting challenges, sleep problems, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on themes like abandonment and attachment issues, avoidant and dependent personality patterns, codependency, body image, eating and food-related concerns, career and commitment issues, family-of-origin dynamics, and coping with life changes or loss.
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed models including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. In practice she blends trauma-informed care and attachment work with practical tools, somatic awareness, grounding and mindfulness techniques to support regulation and embodied presence. Her style is described as warm, clear and collaborative - professional yet human - aiming to offer a balance of support and challenge that helps clients move from feeling overwhelmed or stuck toward steadiness, clarity and greater self-confidence.
Irina is LGBTQ+ affirming and experienced in working with neurodiversity, ADHD, burnout, perfectionism and complex family situations. She offers short- or long-term work depending on a person’s goals and needs, and she pays attention to cultural transitions and belonging, drawing on her own experience of relocating between countries to explore identity, loss and adaptation with curiosity and compassion.
Outside of therapy, Irina keeps active by running, going to the gym and walking with her dog. She values time with her partner and friends, regular contact with family abroad, and quiet solo routines for reading, resting and listening to music. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life can take courage, and Irina aims to provide grounded support throughout that process.
