Cleo Irish Zorrilla , BACP

Cleo Irish Zorrilla is a UK-based therapist with BACP accreditation and four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, anger, career transitions, and ADHD. Additional areas of focus include abandonment and attachment issues, body image, communication problems, domestic violence, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose and midlife crisis, panic and phobias, and mood disorders.

She draws on Psychodynamic Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor each course of work to a person's unique situation, combining exploration of past patterns with practical steps toward change. Cleo aims to offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental presence that helps clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and move toward clearer goals. Her practice supports people navigating difficult life changes and ongoing mental health challenges, with attention to the emotional and relational dynamics that often underlie presenting problems.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, and Cleo encourages prospective clients to approach that step at their own pace. She strives to create a supportive environment where people feel heard and empowered to make the changes they seek. BACP indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, reflecting adherence to professional standards and ongoing development.

Approaches in Online Therapy and How They Help

Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and recurring emotional patterns influence current thoughts, feelings, and relationships. It helps people deepen self-understanding, work through attachment and abandonment themes, and address issues that recur across different areas of life.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on current strengths and practical steps toward change, emphasizing small, achievable goals and what is already working. This approach can be especially useful for managing stress, anxiety, life transitions, and focused problem-solving.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cleo Irish Zorrilla works collaboratively with each client to identify which method or combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or those in different locations. Working with licensed professionals in this format makes it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit appointments into daily life, and access support from wherever the client is located.
