About Orla
Orla Kirk is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and related concerns. Sessions are conducted in English.
Orla uses several established approaches including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems. In practical terms she helps people talk through current problems and identify patterns that keep those problems repeating. She aims to agree clear goals and small steps clients can try between sessions.
People bring a wide range of issues to her, from coping with life changes and career stress to managing anger, addiction or the effects of trauma and abuse. She also works with concerns such as attachment and abandonment, blended family issues, body image, fertility-related stress, and feelings of isolation.
Orla describes her way of working as collaborative: she listens to a person's experience, offers reflections, and works with them to find what helps in day-to-day life. Practical techniques and focused conversations are mixed with space to look at deeper patterns when needed.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies by location. To start, people are invited to use the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How therapy approaches translate to remote sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how earlier bonds affect present reactions. This approach helps people who notice repeated relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns or strong reactions to separation. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's experience in the moment, with the counsellor offering reflection and acceptance so the person can clarify their own choices and next steps. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to practical, achievable changes and short-term steps people can try between meetings.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, needs and preferences and together agree what methods to try. That collaborative process is used to check whether practical step-based work, exploring attachment patterns, or addressing trauma-focused material is the best fit.
The practice uses a subscription payment model; exact session formats are not specified in this profile. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue consistent work while managing life changes, with the therapist and client agreeing how sessions will be scheduled and structured.
