Irene Ellina

Mondays until 5pm

Convenient Appointment Times: Early morning and afternoon appointments available to work around traditional work hours

Individual Therapy: for adults of all ages, exploring issues such as anxiety, depression, identity & self-esteem, grief & loss, and more.

Relationship Therapy: I help couples or partners who want to deepen connection, improve communication, heal after conflict, navigate transitions (e.g. separation, major life changes, relationship issues), or rebuild trust.

Short-Term Therapy: Focused on addressing immediate concerns and developing coping strategies within a limited number of sessions.

Long-Term Therapy: In-depth exploration of unconscious processes, past experiences, and their impact on present behaviour, allowing for profound personal growth and healing.

Flexible Session Formats: I offer face-to-face sessions, as well as online video sessions and telephone counselling to accommodate your preferences and needs..

I have particular experience with:

Relationship difficulties: repeated patterns, communication breakdown, people navigating rupture or transition

Grief and loss, including losses the world doesn't always recognise or name, childlessness not by choice, infertility, pregnancy loss, and the grief of a life that didn't take the shape you expected

Identity and self-esteem, especially for people who function well outwardly and feel something missing inwardly

Life transitions, health challenges, longer-term anxiety and depression

I have experience in working with Neurodivergence. Sometimes the world can feel like a place where people do not understand you, or like you do not fit in. I can help with understanding and navigating the world.

How I work

My orientation is psychodynamic. I'm interested in working with you to develop an understanding why you keep finding yourself here, not just in finding ways to manage it better. I work relationally; what happens between us in the room matters, and I take it seriously.

Sessions are available online, and by telephone.

My first session

I offer a free initial conversation so you can get a sense of how I work before committing to anything.
