Iris Guenther, BACP

Iris Guenther is credentialed in the United Kingdom and registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She supports people experiencing stress and anxiety, family conflicts, parenting and relationship difficulties, and struggles with motivation, self esteem, and confidence.

Iris creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and expressed. She recognizes that seeking change requires courage and aims to accompany clients as they take the first steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life.

She is committed to supporting and empowering clients throughout that journey, helping them articulate goals and find ways to move forward at a pace that feels manageable.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Iris draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide her work in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take action aligned with their values - it is often used for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and early bonding experiences to understand present-day difficulties with intimacy, abandonment, or family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and unconditional positive regard, giving clients space to explore their experience and strengthen self esteem and confidence.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Iris works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques as the work unfolds so the approach remains practical and client-focused.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend appointments around work, family, or other commitments, and allow therapists and licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care even when in-person meetings are not possible.
