Irene Jermoli

Modality

I meet clients in person in West London, primary in Chiswick and Ealing or St Margaret on request. 

I also offer remote counselling which is as much effective and provides more flexibility and availability. When deciding if this is the right form of counselling for you, please consider the space where you are going to have your session, as you need to feel safe and able to talk freely 

Fees

£60 for daytime session / £70 evenings (after 5pm) and weekends

If you are interested in therapy with me, please get in touch via email to arrange a free consultation, to talk about the details of your situation and ask any questions you may have. More on talkingwithirene.co.uk

About me

If you are suffering because of a bereavement or a loss in your life (a breakup, chronic illness, infertility, miscarriage, financial instability), feeling sad about your present state or anxious about the future, I can help you go through your emotional and psychological difficulties, exploring together patterns and how these can be changed, so you can live your present with joy and love for yourself and the people you care about most.

My extensive experience and warm approach has helped many people to live a fulfilled life, finding purpose and grow around their losses. 

People who have worked with me have said:

"I have found myself changing in a really positive way throughout this process. It’s been a pleasure to talk to you Irene, and the ease I felt trusting and opening up to you is an absolute testament to your skills as a therapist"

 "Talking with you is always the one time in my week where I feel like I’m actually being listened to"

"I have learned a lot from you, not just in your guidance and challenges, but in the way you listen, and the safety you project - and I hope very much to assimilate those traits from you"

If you need an extra support in this phase of your life, email me for a brief consultation (free of charge).

How my approach can help you?

My expertise is around:​​

• Bereavement and Grief 
  
• Fertility, miscarriages and abortion
  
• Life changes and Losses
  
• Relationship challenges
  
• Difficulty in relating to others
  
• Anxiety and panic attacks 
  
• Depression
  
• Low self-esteem
  
• Anger management
  
• Trauma
  
• Illnesses and death anxiety

I am an attentive listener, with an attitude of tolerance and respect. This comes from a rich experience of working with people from different cultures, professions, genders and sexual orientations.

I work in a flexible way, offering short and long term therapy, in person and online. In English and also in Italian.

My approach is highly individual, depending on the person’s needs and expectations from counselling.

Some people come to me as they want to be heard and explore their story, feeling understood and accepted. Other prefer more guidance and be challenged in their thoughts and scripts from the past, so to become more adaptive and mindful of their inner strengths. 

In my counselling work I integrate evidence based psychological therapies to tailor the best therapy around the person's needs and expectations.

I usually work on different levels. Using a more Cognitive Behavioural approach (CBT) to challenge thoughts and adjust behaviours that are detrimental in the day-to-day life, but also explore at a deeper level where those patterns are coming from and to allow the person to go through their feelings and get in touch with their real self, holding them in a safe non judgemental space.

My knowledge and practice are fully qualified by the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB) and as a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registered member I adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling.

I am committed to continuous professional development and receive regular clinical supervision to ensure that I am providing the best therapeutic support for my clients. A summary of my most recent training:

• SAND Bereavement Care Training 'Supporting families through Pregnancy Loss and death of a baby'
  
• CPD 'Working with Relational Trauma: Dealing with Disorganised Attachment’
  
• CPD 'Working with Shame"
• Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling (PC-L5)
  
• Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (TC-L4)
  

​In my extra time I volunteer for the Mulberry Centre at West Middlesex Hospital, supporting cancer patients and their families. 

I also volunteer one evening per week for an agency providing counselling to people with no income, as I believe that emotional support has to be accessible to everyone when needed.

My Integrative Counselling approach is tailored on your needs. I offer short and long therapy. In person and online. In English and also in Italian.

I meet clients in person in 3 locations in West London (Chiswick, Ealing and Twickenham) and online, which gives me flexibility and availability.

If you are interested in therapy with me, please get in touch via email or text me. I aim to respond to all queries within a few hours. I offer a free initial 20-minute telephone or video call consultation, during which you can give me brief details of your situation and ask any questions you may have.
