About Me:
As a counsellor, I support individuals who feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or simply ready for change. My work is grounded in psychological knowledge and neuroscience, but at its heart, it is about human connection. I care deeply about creating a safe and compassionate environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment.
Specialised Support for Lasting Change
Individual Counselling
Finding Calm & Emotional Stability
Navigate personal challenges in a safe, science-informed space. We focus on increasing emotional awareness so you can leave each session feeling calmer, more grounded, and resilient.
Self-Worth & Confidence
Building Trust with Yourself
Shift your inner dialogue and gently explore old patterns that keep you stuck. We work together to strengthen self-awareness and build an authentic sense of sustainable self-confidence.
Anxiety & Regulation
Finding Clarity & Focus
Learn to recognise stress responses and build regulation skills. By understanding how your nervous system works, you can gain clarity and feel more in control of everyday situations.
My Approach
I integrate psychological knowledge and neuroscience insights to help you understand how your mind and nervous system work. When you understand the “why” behind your emotions and reactions, change becomes less overwhelming and more achievable. Our work is not abstract — it is grounded, clear, and applicable to everyday life.
Science-Informed & Practical
Depth with Gentle Exploration
I believe meaningful change happens when we safely explore underlying patterns, beliefs, and emotional responses. We move at your pace, with curiosity and compassion — never force. Together, we uncover what may be keeping you stuck and create space for healthier patterns to emerge.
Emotional Regulation & Nervous System Awareness
Many struggles begin with an overwhelmed nervous system. I help you recognise stress responses, build regulation skills, and feel more stable and centred. When your body feels safe, your mind can think clearly and your confidence naturally grows.
Client Feedback
I feel like there’s direction, not just conversation. It’s been helpful to understand my reactions instead of feeling controlled by them.
Georgie J.
I didn’t realise how much my self-doubt was connected to old patterns. Working through that has helped me feel more confident in everyday situations. The sessions feel practical, not just talking, I leave with something to reflect on or try during the week.
Linda K.
I was nervous about starting sessions, but I felt comfortable quite quickly. Iryna has a calm way of listening that made it easier to open up. I don’t feel judged, and that’s made a big difference for me.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect in my first counselling session?
In your first session, we’ll focus on understanding your concerns and what you hope to achieve. It’s a safe space to share your experiences, and we’ll discuss a personalised approach that works for you. You don’t need to have everything figured out — just come as you are.
What issues can you help with?
I work with a range of concerns, including anxiety, stress, self-esteem, emotional regulation, life transitions, and personal growth. Each session is tailored to your unique needs and goals.
What if I’m nervous or unsure about counselling?
Feeling nervous is completely normal. Many people feel unsure before their first session. You can share your feelings openly — it’s part of the process. My goal is to make you feel safe, supported, and understood from the very first session.
