About Cleo

Cleo Irish Zorrilla is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood difficulties, addictions and anger. She also supports people facing relationship and family problems, grief, sleep and eating challenges, and life changes such as midlife transitions or career shifts.

She blends psychodynamic therapy with solution-focused work. That means she helps people notice recurring patterns from the past while also setting short-term, practical goals. Sessions often involve talking through recent triggers, identifying unhelpful reactions, and trying small steps to change how things play out day to day.

Cleo pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when these come up. She can help with body image, guilt and shame, and the fallout from domestic violence. She also works with people coping with panic attacks, phobias and ADHD-related difficulties, keeping conversations direct and focused.

People can expect a mix of reflective exploration and concrete strategies. The reflective side looks at how past experiences shape current responses. The practical side encourages manageable experiments in behaviour, communication and coping skills.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. If you want to start, you use the online service button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How sessions work

How psychodynamic and solution-focused work translate to online sessions

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships and early experiences influence current reactions. In practice this can help people understand why anger flares in certain situations and how old patterns repeat in present-day relationships.

Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps. Sessions using this approach set clear short-term goals, try simple experiments between meetings, and track what changes. It works well for practical problems like workplace frustration or improving communication at home.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will discuss your aims and preferences and will work with you to choose whether to emphasise reflection, short-term goals, or both. That collaborative choice helps shape session pacing and focus.

The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different locations when international work is required. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use these practical benefits to help people manage anger, stress and related concerns without promising a particular format.
