About Irma
Irma Goodwin is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on anxiety and related concerns. She works in a calm, straightforward way and aims to help people manage stress, low mood, panic and worries about daily life. Irma believes clients are the experts on their own stories and builds on each person's strengths from the first session.
She supports people through grief and loss and offers practical help with anger and motivation.
Background and approach
Irma also helps with self-esteem and confidence so people can feel more able to face difficult moments. Her approach is collaborative and down to earth, with clear steps you can try between sessions. With four years of professional experience she brings steady, attentive care to common life difficulties.
Irma accepts international clients and works in English. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. Sessions can focus on immediate coping strategies for panic and anxiety or on longer term patterns such as mood and relationship concerns.
Irma also addresses caregiver stress, isolation and career-related pressure in practical ways. She encourages small, manageable changes that add up over time. People seeking help will find a therapist who listens without rush and who helps them set realistic goals.
Irma supports exploration of guilt, shame and forgiveness alongside practical problem solving. The emphasis is on building skills and noticing progress week by week.
Evidence-based approaches for online support
Irma uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping and clearer thinking. One approach helps clients learn how thoughts influence feelings and behaviour, offering tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety symptoms. Another approach emphasises building skills for emotional regulation and calm, teaching breathing, grounding and step-by-step exposure to feared situations to lessen panic and avoidance.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk through options and adapt methods to match a client's goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, journalling between sessions or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care.
