I work empathically with my clients. Sessions are completely confidential. I work very well with clients who suffer from anxiety and depression. My speciality is my inner child work. This is a very powerful therapy. I can bring the client back in a safe way to a traumatic experience. Sometimes, I will combine this therapy with music. The client may experience the trauma through feelings in the body, this therapy answers for the client why they feel the way they do in their body. By unlocking those feelings healing may begin. It can help a client to become more confident and as a result they begin to uncover their true self's.

At An Tobar Nua, we offer donation-based counselling for both adults and adolescents.
Our goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where people can explore their mental health without the worry of financial barriers. We believe that no one should have to struggle alone simply because they can’t afford support. That’s why we meet each client where they’re at—financially, emotionally, and personally.
Our services are available in-person in Galway City Centre, as well as nationwide via online or telephone counselling.

Many of my clients come to me facing deeply personal and often overlapping challenges. I provide a compassionate space to navigate trauma, anxiety, and depression, as well as the complexities of relationship breakdowns, bullying, and coercive control. These struggles are often intensified by the relentless pace of modern life, social media, and financial instability. Whether you are moving through bereavement, career transitions, or burnout, I am here to help. I also support those who have turned to substance or behavioral addictions as a way to cope with the heavy weight of isolation and stress.

I am an IACP Psychotherapist and Supervisor and I aspire to provide an inclusive, non-judgemental safe space for my clients to work through their issues.
The therapy that I offer is based on the belief that people who come for therapy are experts on their own lives(even if they don't feel like they are!) who have lots of potentially good ideas about how to deal with their problems.
One of my roles is to help you make the best of your own experience and understanding.

From the outside, you look like you have it all together. Your house is in order, your career is moving, or you are managing the equally demanding role of a stay-at-home mom. You handle the schedules and the endless mental load. But inside, you feel depleted, anxious, or caught in an exhausting loop of overwhelm, overthinking, and internal pressure. Whether navigating the profound identity shift of matrescence, processing a difficult birth, or balancing parenting with burnout, please hear this: you are not failing—you are simply running on empty in a very difficult season of life.

Do you feel like you're functioning on the outside, but inside you are feeling stressed, angry, trapped in your own thoughts, feeling disconnected from yourself and those around you? Do you find yourself turning to unhealthy habits or unhelpful behaviours to numb, avoid or manage how you feel — even though they may be becoming a problem? It's important to remember that you dont have to walk this road on your own. As a Trauma-Informed Therapist, I offer a safe and confidential space where you can gently explore what may be going on for you. A non-judgmental space where we move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Please note I am only accepting clients for Adult ADHD assessments at the moment as my therapy slots are fully booked.
My aim in therapy is to connect with the person, allowing them to feel safe and heard, supporting them to make sense of their lives. I provide a calm and comfortable space for people to explore their difficulties, using evidence-based theory to structure and support their emerging story. This allows us to work together to gently and safely unravel tangled elements of the past, freeing the person to move forward into the future they see for themselves.

Hi there, I'm Aisling.
I work with people who are feeling overwhelmed, stretched, or not quite like themselves anymore. You might be feeling anxious, low, or stuck in patterns that are hard to shift, or finding yourself reacting in ways that don’t feel like you.
I offer a calm, supportive space to slow things down, make sense of what’s going on, and help you feel more steady, understood, and able to move forward in a way that feels right for you. I specialise in the areas of grief, depression, neurodivergence and anxiety but have significant experience of working in many other areas too.
