Counsellor
As a professional counsellor my approach blends a combination of therapeutic modalities with integrative insight to create profound, lasting personal growth. Our sessions will be designed to meet your unique needs, helping you change patterns and dynamics that are getting in the way of your goals, gain clarity, and build resilience, empowering you to navigate life with confidence, purpose, and transformative results that ripple across every area of your life.
Psychedelic Assisted Therapist
Psychedelic integration is a counselling-based process for individuals seeking support in understanding and integrating non-ordinary states of consciousness. This work is grounded in a trauma-informed, integrative framework focused on meaning-making, emotional processing, and psychological integration.
Sessions provide space to explore emotional, cognitive, somatic, and symbolic material that may arise from these experiences, including shifts in perception, unconscious patterns, and emerging insights.
Dreamwork Practitioner
With a foundation in Jungian psychology and symbolic language, I help you explore the messages of your subconscious and extract meaningful guidance from your dreams. Soon I will also be adding powerful techniques that I personally apply for lucid dreaming and self induced outer body experiences to utilize your dream realm abilities to your highest potential.
Life & Mental health Coach
I provide life coaching to help you navigate challenges, build emotional resilience, and gain clarity in your life. Through a collaborative, trauma-informed approach, we explore values, goals, and patterns that influence your choices, creating space for self-awareness, practical growth, and intentional action. Sessions are available in person or via Zoom.

You are welcome here, exactly as you are.
My name is Irena, and I am a counsellor offering integrative, trauma-informed therapy. My approach is grounded in creating a safe, collaborative, and reflective space where clients can explore emotional experiences, deepen self-understanding, and work toward meaningful and sustainable psychological change.
My work is informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, attachment-based frameworks, mindfulness-based approaches, and Jungian-informed psychology. This includes an interest in exploring unconscious patterns, symbolic material, and archetypal themes that may emerge through lived experience, emotional process, and dreams. Dream exploration may be used as a therapeutic tool when appropriate to support insight into underlying emotional dynamics and internal conflict.
In therapy, we look beyond surface-level symptoms to better understand the deeper patterns that shape how you think, feel, and relate. This may include exploring protective responses, core beliefs, internal parts, and repeated relational patterns that have developed over time as adaptive strategies. Over time, these patterns can become fixed or limiting, and therapy offers a space to understand and gently shift them.
I hold the view that psychological change and post-traumatic growth are always possible within the right conditions, including safety, attuned support, and a therapeutic environment that allows for gradual integration and new relational experiences.
Whether you are seeking support for personal growth, trauma-related concerns, or the complexities of everyday life, I offer a compassionate and individualized approach tailored to your needs.
I work with clients experiencing a range of concerns, including:
Overwhelming emotions
Relationship difficulties and attachment wounds
Trauma-related experiences and PTSD
Anxiety, depression, and loneliness
Chronic stress and health-related concerns
Persistent worry and uncertainty
Self-criticism and rigid internal belief systems
Boundaries, communication, and relational challenges
