About Aine
Aine O'Donoghue is a BACP counsellor who creates a warm, non-judgemental space for adults to talk about what matters to them. She uses a person-centred style that lets the client lead sessions at their own pace. Many people come to her for help with feelings like low mood, anxiety and stress, or for issues tied to identity and relationships.
Her work focuses on listening deeply and reflecting what she hears.
Background and approach
Conversations aim to help people make sense of their experiences and understand their feelings more clearly. She does not direct conversations; instead she supports people to find their own path through problems. Aine is affirming of LGBT identities and attends to issues that commonly affect that community.
She also supports people facing grief, addiction, workplace strain, compassion fatigue and challenges linked to major life changes. Depression and seasonal affective disorder are among the concerns she addresses. She has three years of practice and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Sessions are offered in English and are held online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. International clients are not accepted. Starting is straightforward: use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then book according to the therapist's schedule.
Costs vary by location and follow a cancellable subscription model.

Approaches Aine lists

Online support
Client-Centred work can help with depression, anxiety, identity questions and relationship concerns by encouraging self-exploration rather than giving direct advice. The aim is to build a trusting conversation that lets a person uncover their own solutions and make sense of life changes.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then shape sessions around what helps most. Together they decide whether person-centred work is right or whether a different focus would be more useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can fit into a short break and text or live chat works when messaging feels easier. These options make it simpler to arrange regular sessions and to keep therapy going even with a busy schedule.
