Irene Stone

Hello, my name is Irène Stone

I am a highly experienced counsellor/supervisor with over twenty years of practice.  I gained my bachelor’s degree in person centred counselling, at the Metanoia Institute, London and I am an accredited member of the BACP (reg.no. 20329) and adhere to their professional standards of conduct.

It is my belief that looking after our Mental Health is one of the most important aspects of living a happy and successful life. And so, over the past two decades I have supported my clients to develop healthier ways of managing difficulties and putting their mental health first. 

Individual Work: At Counselling for Change and Wellbeing I discuss your difficulties in dept to find the underlying issue and help you to gain a greater understanding of what might have caused the problem in the first place. This insight will help us to look for new ways of managing problems more effectively. We will work together at a pace that suits you to support any positive change to be lasting.

Couples Work: Besides working in my private practice with individuals I also work with couples in co-operation with my husband who is himself a highly experienced coach and cognitive hypnotherapist. You can read more about the work we do with couples by visiting my website or contact me for a free chat.

Additional Experience:  Besides working with client in private practice I have also worked as a core counsellor and supervisor for the counselling department at the Brunel University London (2009 and 2023) where I worked individually with students and staff members in a highly stressful and demanding environment to support their resilience and overall mental wellbeing.

Contact me for a free phone consultation: I would be very happy to start our work together with a free phone consultation where you can let me know your reasons for calling, your expectations of working with me and ask any questions you might have about how I work.

"I specialise in supporting my clients to manage their anxiety, stress and depression better and so make positive and lasting changes in their lives."

Sometimes we find ourselves in stressful situations, at work or at home, that feel too difficult to handle alone. I focus on increasing awareness and understanding of patterns that are keeping you feeling stuck and offer the opportunity to address these problems in a direct, effective, and supportive manner. The goal is to bring forth your best self in order to create a more genuine and passionate life.

How I work
