Iris Guenther

Iris Guenther is a counsellor who uses practical, person-focused approaches to help people manage anger, stress and anxiety. She offers calm, straightforward support for relationship and parenting concerns and for people coping with grief, trauma or changes at work. Iris speaks English, French and German and practises in the United Kingdom. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes. Sessions aim to make difficult emotions easier to name and to develop clearer choices in stressful moments. Iris works with issues such as addiction, self-esteem, sleep and eating difficulties, and intimacy-related worries. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental. She focuses on listening first and then helping people find practical steps that fit their life. That might include short experiments between sessions, grounding exercises, or trying a new way of talking about a problem. Iris has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which she uses to guide her day-to-day practice. She welcomes questions about what to expect and explains methods in plain language so people can decide what feels right for them. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. Subscriptions are used for sessions and can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small, practical steps that move life in a chosen direction, which can suit issues like anger and avoidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses short exercises to change unhelpful patterns; this can be useful for anxiety, panic and social fears. Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk about options, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful. Sessions are collaborative so the person can decide which methods fit their goals and everyday life. Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family time, reduce travel, and allow brief check-ins when a quick adjustment is needed. It can also let people use practices such as mindfulness or behavioural experiments in their real-life settings soon after a session, helping new skills to stick.
