Counselling in WC2B

Pornography addiction can significantly impact your life and relationships but there is hope for recovery. I’m not just a mental health professional, I’ve been “you” for many years. I understand firsthand the personal struggles in your life and committed relationships that come with uncontrollable pornography use. The endless stream of attractive women a few clicks away on Pornhub, Onlyfans or Social Media is hard to quit even with all your willpower and promise to quit for the sake of your relationship.

I have expertise working with a wide range of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems, physical and sexual health issues, shame, stress, burnout. I am passionate about working with LGBTQI+ communities and have specialist experience of working with gender, sexuality and relationship diversity. I always pay attention to our differences, such as cultural background, sexual and gender identity, disability - and how these and other intersecting identities influence our lived experience, meaning-making and wellbeing.

The challenges and choices we all face in our lives are as unique as we are. We all have our own paths, problems, opportunities and solutions. Whatever brought you here today, therapy can help you find the path that is right for you.

An established and experienced professional, I aim to help people get through life's challenges safely and usefully. I have worked with people from very different walks of life, and in very different settings (charities, the NHS and private practice since 2002).

I am Irene, a registered BACP counsellor with a PhD in anthropology and diasporic film studies. My academic and life experiences have allowed me to understand intrapersonal and interpersonal complexities individuals face, and I use this knowledge to help people. I believe each client is unique, and my practice focuses on creating a tailored counselling experience for each individual by creating a safe, non-judgmental space for them to explore, and become aware of their experiences and feelings. I offer counselling sessions in English and Italian.

I work using a variety of therapy models, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and person-centred approaches. We will work together to form a safe space in which we can explore your issues and try to help you find a way out of your current difficulties. I view ourselves as constant works-in-progress and understand that sometimes we become stuck in life and unable to find ways forwards. We will work together to discover which approach or approaches best suit you in order to help you become unstuck from your current situation.

Being human, it is only natural we are continuously faced with life's numerous challenges. Painful emotions, such as fear, sadness, grief, frustration, anger and many more show up in response to life's challenges and we have all been 'well-trained' to go for 'fixing' or 'controlling' these responses in the quickest way possible. Ironically, it is this urge to control such painful internal experiences, that often creates and in fact exacerbates our struggles! I am here to help you gain new skills to manage difficult internal experiences in a more helpful manner so you can start living your life more fully.

Dr Bloomfield can help across a range of mental health problems including: Feeling low, problems sleeping, feeling very worried, feeling nervous around other people, having unwanted thoughts or images, doing things a particular way or over and over again until it “feels right”, panic attacks, being scared and avoiding certain situations, hearing voices, feeling like someone or something is trying to harm you, unwanted memories or bad dreams after a sad or bad event, bereavement and loss, low self esteem, or relationship problems including problems forming and maintaining stable relationships with other people.

To thrive at work and in life, we rely on having good concentration, focus, decision-making, memory, emotional agility, psychological flexibility and cognitive ability. Together, these functions can be described as 'good brain health'. However, these vital functions can be interrupted by stress, anxiety, neurodivergence (ADHD, ASD, Dyslexia), hormonal changes, and viruses such as Long Covid. I work with people who want to proactively improve, protect and optimise their brain health, executive function, peak performance and mental wellbeing.

I have always been fascinated by the complexity of human beings, their darkness and their lights. I consider the therapeutic room not only as a space for self-reflection and exploration of what feels difficult to process on your own, but also a place to speak the unspeakable. Therapy can provide an opportunity to challenge behaviours that may appear unchangeable or automatic. As a practitioner I am interested in the integration of cultural and gender studies and have experience working with depression, isolation, sexual identity, existential difficulties, relational dilemmas and bereavement.

I understand it is sometimes hard to make the step towards having therapy. If you are at a point in your life where you need support or guidance in bringing about change, I offer a non judgemental, confidential, compassionate and warm space. Through working together to resolve difficult experiences in various ways, you will begin to see life from a different perspective. This will enable you to understand yourself better, gain more confidence and calm anxieties and depression. I keep up to date with various courses's and reading for continuing professional development. I also work with the Police Firearms Officers Association.

Are anxiety and stress holding you back? Do you want to find out and get rid of the root cause of unwanted thoughts, emotions and behaviour.

If the answer is yes, then hypnotherapy can help you.

I offer people who are looking to make positive changes and move forwards in their life. Whatever your difficulty, I seek to create a safe, non-judgemental space and use psychological interventions grounded in acceptance and compassion to make sense of your difficulties and support you towards greater well being. I offer sessions via Zoom and I am currently taking on new clients.

The therapy I offer is a safe, welcoming, reflective space in which you can feel at ease and can explore all aspects of your life. It’s a harbour from the choppy waters of daily life, a place to be heard and understood without judgement. It’s an opportunity to take stock, to make sense of how you got here, to boost your inner resources, to explore possibilities for the future and to implement positive change. I help to structure the process, to provide clarity about what might be impeding you and offer strategies for clearing the way ahead. In addition to talk therapy I also offer the opportunity to use the arts as part of our work.
