About Iris
Iris Guenther is a counsellor who focuses on practical, warm support for people facing stress, anxiety and parenting strains. She uses straightforward conversation to help clients sort through feelings and find clearer ways forward. Iris holds BACP and brings four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is most worrying them. Sessions are meant to be a place to make sense of difficult emotions, build coping strategies and try new ways of responding to everyday problems.
Background and approach
Iris emphasises listening first, then working together on small, doable steps. Her work often addresses relationship and family concerns alongside parenting challenges. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and addiction-related difficulties.
Additional focus areas include social anxiety, panic attacks, attachment and abandonment issues, and compassion fatigue. Iris draws on several well-known approaches to tailor sessions to each person. That may include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current habits.
She offers sessions in English, French and German and provides multiple online formats. Practical matters such as cost and scheduling follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and then take steps in that direction despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for managing parenting stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns to reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help when attachment or abandonment issues affect parenting or close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Iris will listen to your aims and preferences and then suggest approaches that fit. This is a collaborative process where methods are adjusted over time to suit what helps you most in real life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or camera use is not wanted. Live chat and messaging make shorter check-ins and flexible timing possible, which can help parents fit therapy into busy days.
