Ecobo
Psychotherapy
“The gifts of each are more fully expressed when they are nurtured together than alone”
Robin Wall Kimmerer (2013)
What a fortunate encounter. You have landed here.
It can be unnerving to arrive somewhere or meet someone for the first time. Even more when carrying a heavy load.
Pause here. Breathe. Consider the possibilities. Then, if you wish to proceed further, I will try my best to help you identify the pieces of the puzzle for which you are searching, and to support you as you take your next steps.
Thanks for visiting me, for however long that may be.

Areas of Professional Interests
Psychotherapy with the speciality in Transactional Analysis
After many years of study, I was recently awarded my Advanced Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapy, specialising in Transactional Analysis.
I have studied at Red Kite Training in Liverpool for the last three years and previously completed a year of study at The Berne Institute in Derby. Prior to this I studied Person Centred Counselling at Bury College.
It might be however, that for you it is more important to know that behind all that, I am a curious person with a passion for learning and nature. I have found these combined traits to be extremely useful when supporting others in their search for answers.
Trauma and movement
I am a student of Aikido, a Japanese Budo (martial art). Through my training I have recognised how this practice can impact positively on trauma. I keep learning how movement, both within oneself and in relation to those around us, can help us heal, grow and flourish.
Ecotherapy
At Red Kite Training I was mentored by one of the country's leading practitioners in linking Transactional Analysis and the Ecological.
From them I was awarded my Foundation certificate as an Ecological practitioner.

My Approach
My name is Irene and I am originally from Spain. I love that my name means 'peace'. I speak both languages, Spanish and English.I've been living in the UK for nearly 20 years now.
I love travelling, roaming the Scottish Highlands, practicing Aikido, drawing and reading.
Ecobo is the result of blending nature and Budo.
My passions are as much a part of me as my hair, my wrinkles and my heart. They all inform how I interact with myself, others and the world.
My aim is to create with you a safe meadow, a peaceful cove, a sanctuary, in which to contemplate your journey. I will be a witness and a facilitator in your exploration of what is burdening you, of what it means to be you, as you create new possibilities or grow or whatever it is that brings you on this path.
If you are committed to yourself, curious and willing, then I am here for you.

Experience and Services
I am a registered member of NPCN and UKCP.
I hold an Advanced Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling in TA, a Foundation Ecotherapy Transactional Analysis Certificate, and a certificate of completion at Redecision Marathon with Mil Rosseau. I studied Complex Trauma Stress Studies on a year course at PESI. I hold Level 2 & 3 Person-Centred Counselling Certificates from Bury College.
I have worked in partnership with the police and a national charity supporting survivors of domestic abuse. I also worked on a partnership program between the UNHCR and the Home Office, supporting survivors of trauma and persecution. I have experience of working with people suffering from depression and low self-esteem; people having problems with love ones and/or work; people needing a space to grow and to understand themselves; with people experiencing communication issues, and grief.
I am here to explore with you, to create a safe space, and to welcome all of you. No two people are the same, therefore no two sessions are the same.
I also have experience working with neurodiverse clients, as well as with people who identify as part of the LGBT community.
I offer one to one sessions.
These can be:
- online £50/£55
- face to face £50/£55
- outside (ecotherapy*) £50/£55
Each setting has its own unique benefits, which can be discussed during our initial talk.I offer a free 30-minute phone consultation, designed to familiarise you with my process and to determine if we would be a good fit.
*The Ecotherapy entails a more detailed assessment and we can discuss this over the phone or by email if you prefer.
