About Cleo
Cleo Irish Zorrilla is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and problems around eating, sleeping and addiction. Cleo also lists parenting and family concerns among her focus areas. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
Cleo uses Psychodynamic and Solution-Focused approaches to guide conversations. In practice that means she looks at patterns from the past that still affect daily life, and she also helps people set clear, practical steps to address pressing problems. Sessions are aimed at people who want to understand why they repeat certain behaviours and to try manageable changes.
In a typical meeting Cleo listens to what matters most now, and then she helps identify small, realistic goals. That might include ways to cope with panic attacks, set firmer boundaries, or make changes to eating or sleeping routines. She keeps language direct and practical so the next steps are clear.
Cleo works with issues tied to relationships and family dynamics, including communication problems, attachment and abandonment concerns, and dealing with grief or guilt. She can help people who are juggling parenting demands while also managing low mood, anger or life transitions.

How sessions work
How Psychodynamic and Solution-Focused work online
Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to patterns from earlier relationships and life events that continue to shape feelings and reactions today. It can help when someone wants to understand why they repeat certain behaviours or feel stuck in the same emotional cycles.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear, short-term goals and practical steps. It is useful for people who want to make concrete changes quickly, such as improving sleep routines, reducing panic episodes, or managing parenting stresses with specific strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client will talk about needs, goals and preferences and decide which combination of methods makes most sense. That collaborative process means plans can shift as progress is made or new priorities appear.
The biography does not state which online session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy family life, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make access possible for people living outside the therapist's immediate area, while the core goal remains helping clients move from repeating unhelpful patterns toward manageable everyday changes.
