About Irene

AASW social worker and psychotherapist with 20 years' experience, Irene Landouris works with relationship difficulties, family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. She is based in Australia and offers clinical care drawing on body-based techniques and relational methods. Sessions are guided by practical goals and attention to how stress shows up in the body.

Irene uses an integrative style that links talking therapies with somatic practices. She pays attention to patterns in relationships and how early attachment can shape current reactions. This means clients often talk about communication, commitment issues, separation, grief, and the effects of past abuse in straightforward terms.

Her background includes work in child protection, child and adolescent mental health, adult mental health, acute psychiatry, youth justice and crisis sexual assault services. That breadth informs how she helps people navigate systems and safety planning when needed. Irene has also spent recent years in private practice supporting adults at different life stages.

In sessions she blends conversational reflection with nervous system regulation strategies and body-focused exercises when appropriate. She aims for clear steps people can try between meetings, such as pacing exposure to difficult memories, practicing grounding, or experimenting with different communication approaches.

Irene will also explore spiritual or existential questions when clients raise them. People who prefer a depth-oriented approach that includes bodily awareness and relationship-focused work often seek her out. Before booking, confirm current session formats and practical details to make sure they fit your situation.

How her approaches translate to online work

Evidence-informed talk therapy and somatic approaches are central to her practice. Talk therapy focuses on identifying relationship patterns, communication problems and coping strategies. This helps with depression, life changes and family-related concerns by clarifying steps people can practice between sessions.

Somatic and nervous system regulation techniques involve simple body-based exercises and grounding methods to reduce reactivity. These practices support recovery from trauma and help people notice physical signals tied to emotions. When relevant, depth-oriented exploration looks at attachment history and relational patterns to understand repeating difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and agree on strategies based on your needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific remote session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Discuss practical arrangements and session length when you book to ensure they suit your routine.
