About Aileen
Aileen Boyle is a counsellor who draws on practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage anxiety and stress. She holds BACP accreditation, and has five years of professional experience working with a wide range of concerns. Her style is calm and direct, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more able to handle day-to-day pressures.
She uses methods that focus on relationships and emotions, alongside strategies to change unhelpful thought patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative - the person sets goals and Aileen helps map a clear way forward. Therapy might include understanding attachment patterns, learning new communication habits, or trying behavioural experiments to test anxious thoughts. Aileen has supported people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression.
She also helps with relationship strain, parenting stress, career decisions and other life changes. Additional concerns she works with include abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, codependency, dissociation and financial worries. Her approach values respect and sensitivity.
She aims to create a space where people can speak honestly without judgement. Over a few sessions she works with practical steps and reflective conversation to reduce distress and improve coping. People meet Aileen by first completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions that suit their schedule.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging for flexibility and convenience.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationships shape how people react today. It can help when anxiety, trust or closeness cause distress. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the conversation, offering a non-directive space to talk through worries and find what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try approaches that match those needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and feedback emerge.
Online sessions include video calls, phone appointments, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are best when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can fit a shorter check-in or work around limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer to write or need flexible timing. These options allow therapy to fit around work, family life and travel, while keeping continuity across weeks.
