About Irma
Irma Goodwin is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem and low mood. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use day to day to reduce reactivity and manage difficult feelings.
She frames clients as the experts in their own lives and builds on existing strengths. Irma encourages clear, doable goals so people can notice small changes quickly. Conversations concentrate on what a person can try between sessions as well as what happens in the room.
Her work covers issues tied to relationships, family difficulties and LGBT concerns. She also supports people dealing with sleep problems, eating-related worries, career pressures and compassion fatigue. Practical problems such as money stress, caregiver strain and communication breakdowns are commonly discussed.
Irma helps people looking to address impulsivity, control issues, guilt and shame or trouble forgiving themselves or others. She also supports those facing isolation, midlife questions or a shift in life purpose. Panic attacks and social anxiety are within her stated areas of focus.
People meet straightforward, hands-on conversation about what is causing upset and what might help. The approach is aimed at helping clients try different ways of responding to anger and frustration and see what fits their life. To begin, people are asked to complete a short questionnaire and book a first session.
How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Irma works with established, evidence-based techniques in a practical way. One approach focuses on identifying triggers and practising alternative responses - this helps when anger flares at work or at home by giving clear steps to try. Another approach centres on managing anxiety and low mood with short skills-based exercises that reduce tension and make strong emotions easier to handle.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options with each person, set goals and adjust methods as needs and preferences become clearer. This is a collaborative process aimed at testing what helps in everyday life rather than applying a single fixed method.
If you want online sessions, please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. For many people this flexibility helps keep progress steady alongside other commitments.
