About Iris
Iris Guenther is a counsellor who blends practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage anxiety and everyday stress. She uses straightforward methods so clients can notice change in small steps. Iris speaks English, French and German and works from the United Kingdom.
Iris focuses on everyday pressures like stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges and family conflict. Additional areas include panic disorder and panic attacks, social anxiety, grief and trauma-related difficulties.
Her style aims to create an open and non-judgemental space where people can talk through feelings. Sessions centre on clear goals and simple tools that people can use between meetings. Iris draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-based ideas to shape conversations and practical exercises.
With four years of professional experience and BACP registration, she brings a steady, collaborative way of working. The focus is on what helps the person in front of her, not on jargon or long theoretical lectures. Iris also integrates mindfulness practices to help with grounding and emotion regulation when helpful.
People can expect coaching-like support alongside therapeutic work for life changes and motivation. The emphasis is on building skills for coping with anger, sleep problems, addictive behaviours and career stress. Iris encourages small, realistic steps so progress feels achievable rather than overwhelming.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice tough thoughts and still act according to what matters to them. It often uses simple exercises to build values-based action and can be helpful for anxiety and panic-related worry.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, panic and sleeping or eating difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That means trying things out and adapting the mix of ACT, CBT and attachment-based techniques as needed.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-in conversations or longer focused sessions depending on what suits a person that week. Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how appointments will take place. Many people find remote work helpful for building new skills and managing panic and anxiety in day-to-day settings.
