Irene Jermoli

I am an experienced Integrative Psychotherapist and my counselling approach is warm, compassionate and genuinely caring about the people I work with. Sometimes we all need to feel heard and know that someone is on our side.​ 

If you are: 

• suffering for a loss in your life - bereavement, breakup, infertility, pregnancy loss, financial instability, chronic illness 
• feeling overwhelmed and concerned about your present or helpless on how to make things better
• struggling with anxiety, stress, maybe burnt out 

I can help you with all these feelings and more. We can work together through the emotional and psychological difficulties, exploring patterns and how these can be changed, so you can live your present with joy and love for yourself and the people you care about most. 

 
Areas that I specialise in 
 I am qualified and practice within a multitude of counselling areas. Below, a few reasons why people asked to work with me and the areas where I have accumulated additional experience:

• ​​​​​Coping with negative feelings and thoughts
• Life transitions and losses
• Bereavement and Grief 
• Fertility issues, pregnancy loss and abortion
• Relationship challenges and break-ups
• Low self-esteem, shame and guilt
• Difficulty in relating to others
• Anger management
• Anxiety, stress, intrusive thoughts, panic attacks 
• Depression
• Illnesses and death anxiety
   

The types of therapy that I do 
 
I am an Integrative Psychotherapist which means that I draw upon evidence based psychological approaches and methods, to tailor the best therapy around a person's needs and expectations.  

For example, sometimes I use elements of Cognitive Behavioural approach (CBT) to challenge negative thoughts and adjust behaviours that are detrimental in the day-to-day life, empowering you to find effective ways to cope with anxiety and become emotionally stronger. When you feel ready, we could also explore at a deeper level where those patterns are coming from, giving yourself permission to go through your feelings and get in touch with your real self, in a safe non judgemental space. 

I am an attentive listener, with an attitude of tolerance and respect. This comes from a rich experience of working with people from different cultures, professions, genders and sexual orientations.

I work in a flexible way, offering short and long term therapy, in person and online. In English and also in Italian.

In my extra time I volunteer for the Mulberry Centre at West Middlesex Hospital, supporting cancer patients and their carers. I also volunteer one evening per week for an agency providing counselling to people with no income, as I believe that emotional support has to be accessible to everyone when needed. 

Fees:

• £75 per 50 min session
• £60 online daytime only (9am-3pm)
