About Irma
Irma Goodwin offers calm, practical support for people struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood and self-worth. She writes in a direct, encouraging way and helps people take small steps that make daily life easier. Irma aims to create a steady space where clients can talk through what matters to them and build new ways of coping.
With four years' professional experience and a BACP registration, Irma focuses on common difficulties such as grief, anger, panic and sleep problems.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with career challenges, relationship strain, compassion fatigue and issues around identity. Her work includes a broad range of mood and anxiety concerns and practical life stresses. Irma believes people hold the expertise in their own stories.
She uses that as a starting point while offering guidance and structure. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused, with attention to what helps between meetings. Clients can expect a warm, steady approach that balances listening with practical suggestions.
Irma helps people identify small, achievable changes and build confidence over time. She aims to help clients feel more able to handle daily pressures and regain a sense of direction. Her practice supports people who want clear, down-to-earth help for real problems.
Irma works with issues such as eating and sleeping difficulties, loneliness, life purpose and financial stress, helping each person find manageable ways forward.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Irma will discuss different methods with each person and choose what fits their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps make sessions feel relevant and doable from the start.
Online formats used include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules. Video calls suit longer conversations and visual connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people send notes between meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping continuity of care.
