About me

My practice
Irene is an accredited Psychotherapist and Supervisor. Irene has more than a decade of expertise in the practice and teaching of Yoga. She is the founder of Kahuna Temple, a business dedicated to supporting the restoration of the person through bodywork and movement.

Irene, who is also proficient in Italian, Spanish, and French, has a multicultural practice and welcomes clients from all walks of life. She works with individuals and couples for a wide range of concerns: anxiety and depression, relational difficulties, attachment repair, low self-esteem concepts, lifestyle issues, somatic disturbances, chronic pain, trauma and PTSD, and on to existential matters and grief and loss. In addition, Irene has a specific interest in helping survivors of cults, undue influence and brainwashing.

She uses a person-centred approach, has a warm and compassionate presence, a great capacity for deep attunement and relational cues. Irene privileges working in collaboration with her client to enhance her understanding of her client's concerns and experiences. She believes in her client's intrinsic abilities to grow inner resources and generate enduring personal change and endeavours to offer a safe place where change can take place.

Trained in the Integrative Model of Psychotherapy and Trauma Model, Irene moves away from the traditional one-size-fits-all endeavour of therapy. Instead, she draws upon different evidence-based models and theories to create an exclusive treatment that specifically addresses her clients' unique experiences. Moreover, Irene works with both mind and body awareness, understanding each individual as a whole person.
