Counselling and Psychotherapeutic Approach

As a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist since 2015, Áine strongly believes in and is guided by the principles of Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy. Áine believes that every client has a choice, responsibility and creativity to bring about their own healing and move towards wholeness. She respects the unique and subjective world of the client and recognises that the client is a whole and dynamic person living out their current level of integration through their body, mind, feelings and spirit. Áine is committed to journeying alongside her clients to illuminate what may be standing in the way of their giving expression to their true selves. What is more, Áine also believes that as we connect more with our inner landscape, we have the potential to connect with a depth that transcends our own individuality. In order to deepen the therapeutic process and move towards the active exploration of the client’s experience, Áine uses an integrative approach, focusing on the client’s individual needs.
