About me

Hello, I’m Irene Jermoli, an Italian psychotherapeutic counsellor based in West London. 

I offer a warm, safe and supportive space where you can explore what’s been happening in your life and how it’s affecting you. 

My aim is to help you find ways to feel calmer, more grounded, and connected with yourself and those you love.

I work with people navigating anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, fertility struggles, loss and major life changes. Together, we’ll explore your emotions and thought patterns, so you can make sense of your experience and begin to live more fully in the present — with greater self-acceptance, resilience and hope.

Many clients describe our sessions as a place of understanding and discovery — where they can finally breathe, reflect, and start to grow around their challenges.

How I work

My approach is warm, relational and integrative, drawing from psychodynamic, person-centred, and cognitive-behavioural (CBT) therapies.

We’ll begin by exploring your current situation, personal history and relationships, to understand what’s contributing to how you feel today. From there, we’ll decide together whether to focus on practical coping strategies or a deeper exploration of underlying patterns and beliefs.

Throughout our work, I aim to help you build emotional awareness, self-compassion and tools for everyday resilience — while also making sense of how your past may still shape your present. Therapy is a collaborative process, and we’ll regularly reflect on your progress and evolving needs.

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.

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), British Infertility Counselling Association (BICA) and Foundation for iNfant Loss (FIL).

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. 

Client feedback

“It’s been a pleasure to talk to you, Irene. The ease I felt trusting and opening up to you is a testament to your skills as a therapist.”

“Talking with you is the one time in my week where I feel truly listened to.”

“You project such safety — I’ve learned not just from your insights, but from the way you listen.”

During our initial session, we will explore your current situation, including personal history, relationships, and other relevant factors. 

This phase helps us identify patterns, strengths, and areas for growth. 

Based on this understanding, we will collaboratively decide whether to take quite a practical approach, or one that is more free-flowing.

If you’d like to find out more or see whether we might be a good fit, I offer a free introductory call.

You can reach me via the BACP website or at talkingwithirene@gmail.com.
