Cleo Irish Zorrilla

Cleo Irish Zorrilla is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and eating and food-related issues. She works with clients who are dealing with trauma, low self-esteem, addictions and relationship or family difficulties. Her approach aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and encouraging for people who feel overwhelmed.

With four years of practice, she offers a calm and approachable style. Sessions are shaped around each person’s story and immediate concerns. Cleo listens for patterns from the past that affect present choices, while also helping people set small, practical goals to improve day-to-day life.

She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how early experiences and attachment can influence behaviour and feelings today. Alongside this, she uses solution-focused methods to identify strengths and workable steps that clients can try between sessions. The blend aims to balance understanding with action.

Common areas she helps with include grief, sleep problems, anger, parenting stress, career change, midlife questions and mood disorders. She also supports people facing panic attacks, phobias, body image concerns and isolation or loneliness. Conversations can cover communication and forgiveness as pathways to feeling more connected.

Sessions are delivered from the United Kingdom and are conducted in English. International clients are accepted. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How psychodynamic and solution-focused work online

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how childhood experiences and attachment shape feelings and behaviour now. Online sessions can be a place to notice repeated patterns and make sense of difficult feelings that keep returning.

Solution-Focused Therapy is practical and goal oriented. It helps people identify what is already working, set clear short-term goals and try small changes between sessions to build momentum.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit your needs. That might mean spending more time understanding background issues or focusing quickly on practical steps you can use straight away.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for different interaction styles such as shorter check-ins or video conversations. Registered or accredited professionals can help choose a rhythm and format that suits everyday life and commitments.
