Irma Goodwin

Irma Goodwin helps people facing difficult life changes and emotional strain. She meets clients who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem or depression. Irma works to create a calm space where people can talk things through and feel heard.

She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. Irma encourages small, practical steps aimed at making daily life more manageable. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on clear, achievable goals.

With four years of professional experience, Irma has supported people with relationship difficulties, communication problems and caregiver stress. She also helps those coping with trauma, eating or sleeping issues, panic and mood disorders. Divorce and separation is one area she has helped clients navigate.

Irma is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is shown as BACP. She offers therapy in English and accepts clients from outside the UK.

To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, with fees varying by location and therapist availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online counselling

Irma uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional coping. One common approach helps people learn coping skills for anxiety and panic by breaking problems into small, manageable steps and practising new responses. Another approach focuses on processing loss and grief through talking, remembering and building a daily routine that supports mood and sleep.

Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and then try approaches that suit your needs. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats offered before booking as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in on a lunch break, or letting someone choose audio rather than video to reduce bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques normally used face to face to work well remotely, focusing on clear goals, practical tools and steady progress.
