About Iris
Iris Guenther is a counsellor who emphasises a warm, client-centred way of working. She aims to make conversations about stress, anxiety, family tensions and parenting straightforward and usable. Iris writes in plain language and encourages small, steady steps toward change.
She has four years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including relationship strain, self-esteem, motivation, addictions, grief, trauma and sleep or eating difficulties. Iris also lists support for issues such as ADHD, panic attacks, social anxiety, abandonment and attachment worries.
In sessions she creates an open space for people to talk without fear of judgement. She draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Attachment-based ideas and mindfulness are woven in when they suit the person’s goals.
Iris describes therapy as a partnership where practical steps matter. That can mean setting small goals, trying new ways of coping between sessions, or practising short mindfulness exercises. She also offers coaching-style support for career or life-change decisions.
Sessions are offered in English, French and German. Prospective clients in the United Kingdom can use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to the therapist’s schedule.
How Iris applies therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people try concrete strategies to reduce panic, social anxiety or unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness techniques teach short attention exercises that reduce stress and improve sleep and focus. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Iris will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and comfort level. That means trying different techniques together and adapting the plan based on what helps most. Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling around work or family commitments and the ability to keep sessions brief when needed. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. The focus online remains the same: making therapy fit into everyday life through clear goals, manageable steps and exercises to use between meetings.Areas of expertise
