About Aine
Aine O'Donoghue is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She focuses on person-centred practice and helps people with stress, anxiety, grief, relationships and questions about identity. Sessions aim to let the client lead the conversation while the counsellor listens and reflects.
Her approach is humanistic and non-directive. That means sessions are guided by the person's concerns and pace rather than a fixed agenda. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to help people make sense of feelings, notice patterns and consider new ways of responding to life's pressures.
Aine works with a broad range of concerns from self-esteem and depression to workplace stress and compassion fatigue. She also includes LGBT and gender-related topics, sexual and intimacy issues, and relationship communication in her focus areas. Additional interests include ADHD, addictions and life transitions.
She describes herself as an affirming counsellor for LGBT people and aims to treat identity with respect. The emphasis is on exploring experiences without judgement and building understanding through open conversation. Clients do not need to have a clear agenda at the first meeting.
Practical matters such as fees and session formats use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session using the platform's scheduling tool.

How Client-Centred work fits with online counselling
Aine practises Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and helping a person make sense of their feelings. This approach is non-directive and is useful for issues such as anxiety, low mood, identity concerns and relationship difficulties because it lets the person guide what matters most to them.Her humanistic, person-led way of working places emphasis on being heard and understood rather than on following a strict treatment plan. That can help when someone is sorting through grief, life changes, or questions about sexuality and gender, as the pace and topics are set by the client. The therapist and client work together to decide whether this approach remains helpful over time.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Aine will discuss goals, preferences and practical constraints with each person and adjust sessions accordingly. This collaborative check-in helps match the approach to what the person needs right now.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can be practical for fitting sessions into busy schedules, reducing travel time and making it easier to join from different locations. It also allows flexibility such as shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera, depending on what the therapist offers.
