About Aine
Aine O'Donoghue offers a calm, accepting space for adults who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or facing changes in work and wellbeing. She uses a person-centred way of working that lets each person lead the conversation. Sessions are warm and non-judgemental, and the focus is on listening and understanding what matters to the client.
Her approach is humanistic and non-directive, meaning the client decides what to bring and at what pace to go. She helps people talk through feelings, make sense of painful experiences, and find clearer ways to move forward. That can include exploring identity, relationships, career pressures, or struggles with motivation and self-esteem.
Aine is an LGBTQIA+ affirming counsellor who aims to create an inclusive environment where gender and sexuality are fully accepted. She also works with issues such as trauma and abuse, addictions, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and workplace problems. Practical concerns like communication, loneliness, and life purpose are commonly discussed in sessions.
She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is shown as BACP. Aine has three years of professional experience and works with adults in the United Kingdom. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Person-centred approaches and online counselling
Aine practises Client-Centred Therapy, which centres on attentive listening and responding to the person in front of her. This approach helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, unsure about identity, or facing relationship and workplace stress by giving them space to find their own answers.The emphasis is on following the client’s pace and priorities. Sessions focus on what the client brings each time, helping them make sense of feelings and build self-understanding. This collaborative style suits people who want a gentle, reflective way to work through change and loss or to address issues like anxiety and low self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Aine works with each person to agree how to proceed, checking in about goals and preferences as conversations evolve. She tailors the pace and focus to what the client needs rather than imposing a fixed plan.
