About Irma
Irma Goodwin is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing anxiety, stress and panic. She focuses on building practical skills and steady progress so clients can manage difficult moments and move forward. Irma speaks English and brings four years of professional experience to her work.
She begins by listening to each person's story and noticing the strengths they already have. Irma treats the person, not the label, and works together with clients to set realistic steps for change. She explains ideas clearly and keeps sessions focused on what will help day to day.
Her background includes work with grief, anger, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and mood difficulties. Irma also offers help around caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues and life transitions such as divorce and midlife changes. She is attentive to how stress and panic can affect sleep, eating and work life.
Irma is registered with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is the credential listed in her profile. She has four years of practice experience and accepts international clients who can work in English.

How evidence-based approaches shape online sessions
Irma uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical tools and skill building. One common approach is solution-focused work, which helps people identify small, achievable steps and notice what changes when those steps are tried. This can be useful for managing panic episodes and reducing daily stress.Another helpful approach is problem-solving and behavioural work, which looks at how thoughts and actions interact and teaches straightforward strategies to change unhelpful patterns. This can support improvements in sleep, mood and everyday functioning after panic or anxiety spikes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Irma works collaboratively with each person to decide which ideas to try first, checks what is working, and adapts plans over time based on goals and preferences.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm the options available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule regular check-ins and to practise techniques between meetings, helping therapy fit into daily life rather than disrupting it.
