About Iris
Iris Guenther is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, low self-esteem, motivation problems, and addiction-related difficulties. Iris also lists work around anger, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, sleep and eating difficulties, bipolar challenges, and coping with life changes.
In sessions she uses practical, conversation-led methods. Iris draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Mindfulness approaches alongside client-centred and attachment-based ideas. That means she helps people notice what matters to them, spot patterns of thinking and behaviour, and practise simple skills to reduce reactivity and build steadier habits.
People can expect a straightforward, calm way of working. Iris aims to listen first, and then outline small steps that fit day-to-day life. She may use exercises to track thoughts and actions, mindfulness practices to lower stress, and reflective discussion to address relationship patterns and attachment concerns.
Her multicultural language skills include English, French and German, which can help when complex feelings are easier to name in another language. She does not accept international clients at this time. Practical details like session formats should be confirmed before booking.
For someone who wants to manage anger, frustration at work, simmering resentment, or a loved one’s difficult responses, Iris offers steady, skills-focused support. New clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and to practise small actions that match those values. It is useful for anger tied to frustration, guilt or avoidance because it focuses on what someone wants to build rather than only trying to stop feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches straightforward techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It often involves tracking triggers, testing beliefs, and trying new responses in real life to reduce repeated outbursts or rumination.
Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of physical and emotional signals. It can help with stress, panic attempts to control feelings, and recurring anger by giving tools to pause before responding.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs shift.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people sustain regular work on behaviour, mood and relationships.
