About Aine
Aine O'Donoghue offers a calm, non-judgemental space for adults to talk about what matters most to them. She uses a person-centred way of working that lets each session follow the client's pace and priorities. Aine aims to make it easier to name feelings, think through difficult choices, and feel more certain about the next steps.
Her sessions focus on listening and reflection rather than giving instructions. Conversations are led by the client and shaped around their concerns, whether that is stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, addiction or issues around identity and sexuality.
Background and approach
Aine also works with people facing workplace strain, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. She brings three years of counselling experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. This means she follows professional standards set by that body.
Sessions are offered in English and are delivered remotely across the United Kingdom. Aine has a clear commitment to diversity and inclusion and describes herself as LGBTQIA+ affirming. She aims to offer a respectful, accepting environment where people can explore gender dysphoria, relationship styles such as polyamory, or other identity-related concerns.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Therapy is delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches Aine lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
The process is collaborative. The counsellor will work with the client to find the best way forward and adapt the approach to fit their needs, goals and preferences. Conversations are shaped by the client's pace, and the therapist helps explore options rather than prescribing solutions.
Online therapy makes this flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and build rapport. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer written reflection or need more frequent, brief contact between appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can offer effective support through these formats, helping therapy fit around work, family and daily life.
