About Irene Martin Alvarez
Across three years of professional experience she has worked in partnership with police and a national charity supporting survivors of domestic abuse, and on a collaboration between the UNHCR and the Home Office to assist people who have survived trauma and persecution.

She works collaboratively, inviting clients to explore their stories and discover strengths, and she emphasizes that each person is unique so each therapeutic journey is tailored.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support
Irene uses Transactional Analysis in her work, a structured approach that helps people understand patterns in how they think, feel, and relate to others, which can be especially helpful for relationship issues and communication problems. She also draws on person-centred principles, focusing on the client’s own resources and experiences so people feel heard, respected, and supported while they build self-esteem and work through life changes. Where trauma is central, Irene applies learning from complex trauma studies to tailor pacing and support for those coping with panic, post-traumatic stress, or long-term effects of adversity.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Irene collaborates with each client to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as trust and insight grow. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and effective for the individual.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it possible to connect from different locations and at different times. These options help remove logistical barriers, allow ongoing continuity of care, and support consistent progress even when life is busy or circumstances change.
