About Aine O'Donoghue

Aine O'Donoghue is a fully qualified person-centred counsellor who offers adults a warm, supportive space to explore whatever is on their mind. Her practice is rooted in a humanistic, non-directive philosophy, which means sessions move at the client’s pace and are led by the individual’s needs, with care, compassion and without judgement.

She works collaboratively to help people make sense of their feelings, gain clarity around difficult experiences and develop a deeper understanding of themselves. Clients do not need to have the right words or a fixed agenda to benefit; willingness to show up as you are is enough to begin the work.

Aine is LGBTQIA+ affirming and is committed to diversity and inclusivity, providing a space where identity is respected and valued. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom, and maintains professional insurance and GDPR compliance.

Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Aine welcomes inquiries from those considering counselling. She offers an approachable, person-centred service that supports adults through stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and identity concerns, life transitions and other challenges.

Person-centred approaches for online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-judgemental space where the client leads the conversation. The therapist offers understanding and reflection to help clients explore feelings, build self-awareness and work through issues such as anxiety, grief, relationship concerns and life changes.

The practice also reflects a humanistic, non-directive stance, which means the therapist supports clients to find their own solutions rather than directing outcomes. This approach is useful for people who want a respectful, paced process that honours their personal values and identity.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work and is decided collaboratively. Aine will discuss what might suit a client’s needs, goals and preferences and adapt her person-centred way of working to fit each individual.

Online therapy with Aine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which adds flexibility for scheduling and allows clients to engage from locations that suit them. These options support continuity of care and make it easier to access regular therapy alongside work, family and other commitments.
