About Aine

Aine O'Donoghue offers a calm, non-judgemental space where adults can talk about what matters to them. She greets each person with warmth and listens without directing the conversation. Sessions move at the client's pace, and people are encouraged to bring whatever feels important that day.

Her approach is person-centred, which means the focus stays on the client's experience rather than a set agenda. Conversations aim to help people make sense of feelings, recognise patterns, and build clearer self-understanding.

Background and approach

Clients do not need to have the right words or a clear plan before starting. Aine emphasises inclusivity and is LGBTQIA+ affirming, creating a setting where identity and experience are respected. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and difficulties linked to work and life changes.

She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related difficulties, alongside issues like isolation, guilt and problems with communication. Areas of additional focus include pregnancy and childbirth, gender dysphoria, sexuality, and workplace challenges. Aine is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often written as BACP.

She practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Her experience spans three years of direct counselling work. Practical options for meeting include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.

Therapy sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies by location and therapist availability.

Ways of working Aine names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Person-centred care and online sessions

Aine uses a person-centred approach, which puts the client's experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens without directing the conversation and helps people clarify their feelings, build understanding, and decide what matters most to them. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, identity questions and relationship difficulties.

The process of choosing the right approach is collaborative. Aine will work with each person to see how the person-centred style fits their needs and goals. If adjustments are helpful, she discusses them together so the way of working matches what the person wants from therapy.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when people want a shorter check-in or have lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit ongoing reflection or times when typing feels more comfortable. These choices make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life, and they allow people to keep contact from different locations around the United Kingdom.
