About Aine
Aine O'Donoghue is a BACP counsellor who offers a calm and welcoming space for adults to talk about stress, anxiety and life changes. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. Conversations are led by the person in the room and take place at a pace that feels manageable.
Her style is person-centred, which means sessions follow what the client brings rather than a set agenda.
Background and approach
That approach suits worries rooted in grief, low self-esteem, workplace issues, or challenges with identity and relationships. People who are exploring gender questions, sexuality, or experiences of prejudice often seek this gentle, accepting way of talking. With three years' experience, she draws on simple, practical talk to help people understand their feelings and make clearer choices.
Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping clients notice options they may not have seen before. There is no pressure to have the right words at the start; showing up is enough. Aine states a commitment to diversity and inclusivity and provides an LGBTQIA+ affirming environment where identity is respected.
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, which is recorded here as provided. People can work with her on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, intimacy and communication problems. Practical next steps include a short online matching questionnaire and arranging sessions in formats that suit everyday life.
How Client-Centred Work Fits Online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said, and follows the client's pace so people can make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach is helpful for worries such as anxiety, grief, self-esteem, identity questions and relationship communication issues.Because the focus is on what the client wants to work on, figuring out the best approach is a joint process. The therapist will check in about goals and preferences and adapt how sessions run over time. That shared decision-making helps tailor the work to the client's needs and comfort level.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and maintain a closer connection, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or messaging offer quick check-ins or a quieter way to reflect without being on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life, or mobility needs, and they allow people to keep continuity of care across different locations.
