About Iris
Her work mixes client-centered listening with structured techniques. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and mindfulness practices to calm reactivity. Narrative and solution-focused ideas help people name what matters and test small, achievable changes.
Iris emphasizes the mind-body connection formed by her varied background. That perspective makes room for discussions about eating, body image, caregiver stress, and lifestyle choices alongside emotional struggles. She aims to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck and try new responses that fit their daily life.
Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Clients can expect gentle curiosity, practical homework when useful, and regular checking in on progress. Iris also supports work around attachment concerns, abandonment wounds, issues of guilt and shame, dissociation, and questions of life purpose.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps people feel heard while they sort out goals and next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These practices can help with emotional ups and downs and improve awareness of bodily cues and triggers.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which approaches to use based on goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in early sessions. That process can include trying different techniques and adjusting as progress is reviewed.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, handle sessions without commuting, and fit therapy into a busy day. It also lets conversations continue between appointments through agreed check-ins and homework tasks, helping people apply new skills in regular life.
