About Iris
Iris Guenther is a counsellor who focuses on practical, evidence-informed therapies that help with anxiety and daily stress. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help people understand their thoughts and feelings. Iris explains things in plain language and aims for short, useful steps clients can try between sessions.
Iris works from the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, which she uses as a professional reference.
Background and approach
She brings four years of professional experience to conversations about relationships, parenting pressures, and family strain. She also supports people dealing with self‑esteem, motivation and the emotional effects of grief or trauma. In sessions she listens first and then helps people pick practical strategies.
That can mean learning to notice unhelpful thinking patterns, practising grounding and breathing, or setting small goals to rebuild confidence. She combines talk‑based exploration with simple exercises clients can use at home. People come to Iris for help with panic attacks, social anxiety, attachment concerns and long‑standing worries.
She also works with issues such as addiction, sleeping or eating difficulties, anger and career stress. Her aim is to help people find clearer choices when life feels overwhelming. Iris offers therapy in English, French and German.
Appointments are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. The process starts by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling sessions that fit each person’s needs.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions typically include simple exercises to practise noticing thoughts and planning small steps towards what matters in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing thinking patterns and behaviours that keep problems going. In remote CBT sessions, a counsellor might work through thought records, behavioural experiments and practical homework that can be done between calls.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the person to try methods that feel useful and fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process can involve mixing elements from different approaches until a clear plan emerges.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy around life. Video calls allow face to face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a quicker check in. Live chat or messaging suits short reflections, written exercises and steady ongoing support without scheduling every week.
