therapeutic immersions
focused support. lasting change.
Deep-dive sessions for women seeking clarity and focused support in addressing a specific pattern, emotional block or nervous system response for a natural approach to healing and change
Sometimes we don't necessarily need long-term therapy.
Sometimes we simply need someone willing to sit with us and help make sense of what is really happening for us, so that we can begin moving forward with greater clarity and self-trust.
These therapeutic immersions are designed for women who are ready for a more focused, intentional experience, with a choice of differing levels of duration and depth to suit on your needs and circumstances.
Whether you're looking for clarity around one challenge or situation, or ready to explore the deeper patterns shaping your life, these immersions provide a compassionate, relational space where new awareness and lasting change can begin.
The Tune Up
A focused 75-minute therapeutic intensive
Designed to explore one emotional block, physical symptom or nervous system response.
Together we'll gently uncover what's happening beneath the surface, make sense of what your mind and body may be communicating, and identify practical ways to support yourself moving forward.
You'll leave with greater clarity, personalised insights and tailored practices that you can continue integrating into everyday life.
Ideal if you're looking for specific support around one particular issue.

The Turning Point
A three-session therapeutic immersion
Often, recurring patterns are asking for more than understanding - they're inviting deeper exploration and change.
The Turning Point offers a dedicated space to identify, understand and gently process the underlying experiences, beliefs and protective patterns that may keep you feeling stuck or have been weighing on your mind and heart.
Through compassionate enquiry, emotional processing and embodied awareness, we work together to create meaningful and lasting shifts that extend well beyond the therapy room.
Helping you create a new turning point in your life.
Ideal if you have already engaged in some self-development or healing work, and you're ready to begin making conscious steps towards generating
deep and sustainable change for yourself.

Client experience working with me
"Irene is a truly brilliant therapist. From the moment you meet her, she is warm, welcoming, and creates a space where you can't help but open up about your experiences, worries, and emotions.
She listens without judgment and has a remarkable ability to hold space for every feeling, making you feel seen, heard, and understood.
What makes Irene so special is how relatable and compassionate she is. Through our work together, she helped me shift my perspective and develop a deeper understanding of my mind and body, while also learning to show myself more grace and kindness. She helped me realise that not everything is meant to be fixed; some things simply need to be felt, acknowledged, and accepted.
Irene also equipped me with practical tools that have been invaluable during moments of heightened emotion. Thanks to her guidance, I feel much more in control of my emotions, better able to observe them without being overwhelmed, and more capable of seeing situations from a broader perspective.
I have gained a deeper insight into how the mind works and a greater understanding of myself.
The work of self-discovery is never truly finished, but thanks to Irene, I feel far more grounded, resilient, and empowered. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, insightful, and highly skilled therapist.
I cannot thank her enough for the impact she has had on my life."

Let's start with a conversation
If you are curious about either the The Tune Up
or The Turning Point pathways...
I welcome you to book a
complimentary therapeutic immersion Connection Call.
This 30-minute call gives us an opportunity to connect
and discuss what you're seeking support with,
and explore which path feels like a good fit
for your needs and where you are at right now.
More than helping you to calm down or cope better, these immersions help you to
know and understand yourself in a way that naturally leads
to greater self-regulation and self-trust.
Healing, growth and change isn't just about
learning something new.
It's about learning to meeting yourself in a new way.
Irene Valis - Gestalt Therapist & Somatic Coach for Women
Helping you to deeply know, love and trust yourself into real and lasting change.
I support women in slowing down, developing greater self-awareness, and gently uncovering the layers of social conditioning, survival patterns and self-abandonment that can keep them disconnected from their authentic selves and with others.
I provide a variety of support options from individual therapy, short-term therapeutic immersions, free and low-cost resources and coaching packages to suit your needs and meet you wherever you are at in your life journey.
Welcome.
