Cleo Irish Zorrilla , BACP

Cleo Irish Zorrilla is a counsellor who uses psychodynamic and solution-focused approaches to help people navigate difficult life moments. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction and self-esteem concerns. Cleo aims to make the first steps approachable and straightforward for people who feel overwhelmed.

Her sessions begin by listening to what matters most to the client. She looks at patterns from the past that affect current feelings and relationships, while also identifying small, practical steps that can bring relief quickly. This blend helps people see both long-term causes and immediate solutions.

With four years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP, Cleo offers a steady and thoughtful presence. She draws on her training to balance deeper reflection with goal-focused work that suits everyday life.

Cleo supports people facing a wide range of concerns, including grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, career stress, parenting strains and challenges linked to ADHD. She also helps with relationship and communication problems, body image and feelings of isolation.

Sessions are available across the United Kingdom and to international clients in English. Cleo provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. To get started clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to therapist availability.

Therapy approaches and online support

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how earlier experiences shape present feelings and relationships. It helps people understand why certain patterns keep repeating and can be useful for issues like attachment concerns, abandonment and deep-rooted emotional pain.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on current strengths and practical steps. It helps when people want quick, clear goals for problems such as stress, anxiety, panic, sleep or eating difficulties and day-to-day coping.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Cleo will listen to a person's needs, goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working that fit. She often mixes reflective psychodynamic conversation with short-term solution-focused tasks to match what the client wants to achieve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text-based messaging is helpful for short updates or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or travel while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
