About Irma
Irma Goodwin is a counsellor who focuses on helping people find steady ground when life feels overwhelming. She works with adults facing depression, stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping people take small, manageable steps toward feeling better.
She believes the client knows their story best and that their own strengths are central to change. Sessions are collaborative, with a focus on practical ways to manage strong emotions and build confidence.
Background and approach
Irma helps people identify what gets in the way and try new coping strategies in everyday life. With four years of professional experience she has worked with a wide range of concerns including anger, relationship tension, trauma and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with sleep and eating difficulties, panic symptoms, and issues around life purpose and midlife transitions.
Irma is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers work in English and is based in the United Kingdom while also accepting international clients. Her sessions combine practical tools and a warm, encouraging approach.
The aim is to make therapy feel useful from the start and to help people practise new ways of coping between meetings.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Irma will work with each person to decide which methods match their needs and goals, and she adapts the plan as progress is made. The work is practical and collaborative, with space for feedback and adjustments.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are helpful when face-to-face conversation matters, phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and chat or text can work for quick check-ins or ongoing support between talks. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity across time zones for international clients.
