Irene Luque - Psicóloga en español en UK - Psychotherapy and counselling — Psychotherapist in Birmingham, England

I contacted Irene during a very difficult time in my life, and I'm so grateful to have worked with her. She helped me find my way through the confusion and get to know myself better. Irene treated me with kindness, warmth, and professionalism, which made me feel very safe sharing my situation during our sessions. After the sessions, I learned to feel more confident, less afraid to make decisions, and I learned ways to manage ruminative thoughts. Ultimately, I feel more emotionally independent and less trapped by my environment or circumstances. I really appreciated Irene's use of metaphors in some sessions to help me understand certain aspects better, so I'll end with something similar. Irene helped me loosen those initial knots in the bunch of headphones I carry in my pocket, making it easier to continue untangling them on my own.

I worked with Irene for a year due to some life issues. She is a very professional, empathetic and knowledgeable therapist. She helped a lot with my self-esteem and always gave me excellent directions and advice, helping me navigate some difficult times in my life. I definitely recommend her, it is very important to find someone that can empathize and guide you througout the therapeutic process, that sometimes can be long. Thank you Irene :)

I went to Irene at a very low point in my life; I'd given up on everything. In her sessions, I found such warmth, humanity, and, above all, support. It's the first time I've felt comfortable in therapy after seeing several psychologists. Irene has offered me very useful tools during this period and a friendly face in the face of adversity. With her, you feel listened to, and there's an active conversation going on; it's not one-way and passive. Thanks to this, I've been able to face certain situations with more strength and new perspectives. I will always be grateful for her help and treatment, and that's why I highly recommend her work.

I met Irene through a friend's recommendation a little over a year ago. In that time, I've noticed a huge change in how I deal with uncomfortable situations, unpleasant feelings, and how I treat myself. I decided to start therapy because I was at a rather chaotic point in my life, where making decisions was very difficult. I needed help understanding myself. With Irene, I felt comfortable from the very first minute, even when I had to confront some unpleasant emotions. It was a slow process, in which I was able to discover myself without rushing, and in which I always felt protected and supported. Even when I thought I had nothing to say, that it wouldn't be a productive session, Irene would find that "something" that was on my mind and leave me reflecting, learning, and improving for days. Now, a year later, I feel more confident, with clearer goals, fewer fears, and I'm the person I want to be. Starting therapy with Irene was the most important gift I've given myself so far. Thank you so much ❤️

I contacted Irene because I was going through a difficult time. My feelings were overwhelming, and everyday situations were causing me anxiety and worry, trapping me in a cycle that was hard to break. During my sessions with Irene, I felt incredibly comfortable. She's a great listener, very empathetic, and has a wonderful sense of humor. I felt at ease with her from the very beginning. Thanks to our sessions, I now have some very useful and easy-to-use tools for managing situations and my thoughts about them. If you think you need support to overcome a specific situation, or simply need someone you can talk to without feeling judged, I highly recommend contacting Irene.

I found Irene through word of mouth after I realised I was in a dark place I couldn't find a way out of without help. It was important for me to be able to communicate in English and I know Irene made a huge effort to have all of our sessions in English, I appreciated that so much and there was never a moment I misunderstood her. From the moment we had our first contact I immediately felt comfortable, it was like I was speaking to someone I had known for years and even though this was the first time I'd ever spoken to someone in this way it all felt natural. Me and Irene spoke for a year and it that year she changed my life. She taught me things that I use every single day and I can honestly say she was my light I needed to get out of my dark place and she still is. We spoke about things I never realised I needed to talk about, it was as if she just knew exactly what I needed and I'm forever grateful. Not only is she caring and professional, I always ended the week wanting to talk with her. I now have the skills to look after myself mentally all thanks to you, you gave me back my control when I had lost it. Thankyou so much, you are a wonderful person and amazing at what you do. I'll always be grateful for the sessions we had, the effort you made and the way you changed my life.

I've been in and out of therapy for the last decade, and seeing Irene is the only time I've actually made real progress. It's been just over a year and I have changed a lot, I'm coping with the situations in my life much better than I used to, and am making healthier decisions in my life

Irene is a lovely person and a great therapist. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Before the sessions, I felt like I couldn't open up and almost emotionless. The sessions helped me identify why and how to move forward to become the version of myself I wanted. A year later, I feel happier and more fulfilled in work, relationships and life! It's been a life changing experience and I am forever grateful.

After dealing with some work-related issues, the COVID situation, and some personal changes, I was searching for someone to speak to who could provide me with some tools and techniques to implement into my daily life. Irene made me feel very comfortable during each session, and worked with me to move through things, provide new perspectives and a toolkit for managing emotions and situations. Irene was easy to talk to and was flexible with the timings of sessions, and her overall demeanor was kind and warm. I really couldn't recommend her more if you are looking for psychotherapy and counselling.

My experience with Irene has been (and continues to be) excellent. After receiving therapy for over six months for both generalized and social anxiety, I can now say that my situation has improved faster than I expected. Her ability to listen, understand my perspective, and at the same time encourage me to consider alternative viewpoints has helped me immensely. I have learned several strategies for managing my anxiety, which I have implemented in my daily life, as they have completely changed the way I think and act. I wholeheartedly recommend Irene as a therapist, not only for her professionalism and approachability, but also for her ability to adapt to each person's needs to make therapy as effective as possible.
