About Cleo
Cleo Irish Zorrilla is a counsellor who uses psychodynamic and solution-focused approaches to help people facing common life difficulties. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem and depression. Cleo aims to make the first steps in therapy straightforward and approachable for anyone feeling overwhelmed.
She has four years of practice in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
That background informs a style that balances listening for deeper patterns with practical steps to change day-to-day life. In sessions she helps people notice how past experiences affect current choices. This can make sense of repeated struggles with mood, relationships or self-image.
She also introduces short, goal-focused strategies to tackle immediate concerns and build workable routines. Cleo supports people dealing with a wide range of topics including grief, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger and career changes. Additional areas she addresses include attachment worries, body image, guilt and isolation.
She works with mood problems such as panic and phobias and helps people managing life transitions. Her practical aim is to blend reflection with clear steps clients can try between sessions. That mix is intended to reduce distress and create momentum toward manageable change.
New clients complete a brief questionnaire to start the process and then schedule sessions that fit their needs.

Approaches Cleo lists

Online support
Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and on what the person wants to change next. It is useful for reducing immediate distress and building routines for better sleep, mood and coping with life changes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods that match those aims and adjust them as needed in ongoing sessions.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
