About Aileen
Aileen Boyle is a counsellor who uses practical, person-centred ways of working. She draws on five years of professional practice to help people tackle stress, anxiety, addiction and depression. She also supports those facing relationship strain, parenting pressures and big life changes.
Her approach begins with listening without judgement. She uses client-centred and attachment-based ideas to build trust and understand what matters to each person. Sessions focus on clear steps people can use between meetings, not only on talking about feelings.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioural techniques are offered to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. Elements of emotionally-focused and existential work are used when relationships, meaning or strong emotions are the core concern. The mix is tailored to the situation and the person.
Aileen has worked with issues linked to trauma and abuse, drug and alcohol addiction, dissociation and domestic violence. She also helps with attachment difficulties, codependency and problems around infertility and adoption. Practical matters such as money worries and career stress are part of her brief too.
People who choose her are supported to set realistic goals and build skills over time. She invites open conversation about how therapy is going and adapts plans as needs change. The emphasis is on steady progress and clearer day-to-day coping.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will discuss different options and decide together what suits a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps shape session focus and what tools are practised between meetings.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, and messaging suits people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting or travel and to keep continuity when life is busy.
