About Cleo
Cleo Irish Zorrilla is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years' experience and works with people in the United Kingdom on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression.
She uses psychodynamic and solution-focused approaches to help people name what is troubling them and try practical steps forward. Sessions typically look at how past relationships and patterns affect current feelings, alongside short-term goals and concrete coping strategies.
Cleo also supports people dealing with addictions, relationship and family matters, grief, eating and sleeping problems, anger and career concerns. She works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment, body image, communication problems and feelings of guilt or shame.
People bring a wide range of worries such as panic attacks, phobias, mood difficulties, feelings of isolation, and life transitions like midlife change or finding purpose. She can help with parenting stress and practical coping around everyday pressures.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients may be accepted. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How psychodynamic and solution-focused work fits into online counselling
Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships and recurring patterns affect current feelings and reactions. It can help people who want to understand the origins of anxiety, attachment problems or repeated relationship difficulties.Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and short-term goals. It suits people who want quick strategies for coping with stress, managing panic attacks or making changes in daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest whether more exploration or more practical planning might help. That choice is made collaboratively and can change over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the exact options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow for different ways of meeting when life is busy. Some people find shorter check-ins useful when they have limited time, while others prefer longer sessions for deeper discussion. Registered and accredited professionals offer a range of formats, and Cleo can explain which are available when you begin the matching process.
