Irina Florea
Counsellor and Psychotherapist MBACP
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 struggles 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) and in-person sessions in Bristol and in Frome. 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 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 done 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 – Attachment Theory, Trauma–Informed Care, Transactional Analysis, Internal Family Systems and Polyvagal Theory. To support long-lasting results in therapy for my clients, I use 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.

Fees
Initial assessment session – £45 per 50-minute session
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.
For all subsequent sessions, please see below my standard fees:
Bristol – £60 per 50-minute session
Frome – £60 per 50-minute session
Online – £60 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.
