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.

The initial phone call, usually 30 mins is free. The client may feel up-set and often emotional as they begin to talk about their issues and concerns. I make sure they feel heard and understand regarding their needs. I use the Internal Family Systems approach. It works on befriending our internal parts that cause us upset and realizing these parts have our best interest at heart. It facilitates inner child healing leading to transformation. I am qualified in sensorimotor psychotherapy for trauma. This involves working with the body which holds the trauma. This is done in a gentle effective way. "The body holds the score"

I have been working with clients since 2006 and my aim is always to offer a space for each client, adolescent or adult, to feel comfortable and safe. It is important to me to offer an experience of ease and flow to the client. I work in a non-judgement and real way which I have found leads the client into a relaxed place within themselves. I am holistically focused, so this means I have quite a few tools in the toolbox to approach the various topics or issues which arise in each session. My motto is Answering the Call of The Heart and embody this in my everyday practice and that spills into my work in the therapy room.

Wherever you are. However you are. You are welcome. Yes, sometimes we just can’t do it on our own and we need help. Therapy is one way to resource yourself to meet some of life’s challenges. Crippling anxiety, overwhelming grief, black depression are sources of deep pain and dark suffering. They can also be as a consequence of early traumatic experiences or negative beliefs we hold about ourselves. To accept where you are is the first step in healing yourself. Hi, I’m Liam and I create a safe place for you to explore your world, where I meet you with compassion and non-judgement in a confidential setting.

Do you feel 'stuck' or overwhelmed by life's transitions? I work best with individuals who feel disconnected from themselves or weighed down by anxiety and persistent stress.

My ideal clients are ready to look beneath the surface and want a therapist who is both a compassionate listener and an active collaborator. Together, we will move from simply 'getting by' to living a life that feels authentic, empowered, and deeply aligned with who you truly are

If food, body image, bingeing, purging, restricting, or constant thoughts about eating are taking up too much space in your life, you are not alone and you are absolutely welcome here. I work closely with people struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating, body image difficulties, anxiety, and trauma. Often, these struggles can feel exhausting, isolating, and honestly… a bit like your brain has become an unpaid full-time critic. Together, we work to quiet that noise, untangle unhelpful patterns, and build a healthier, more compassionate relationship with food, your body and yourself.

Many people experience some form of disruption in their mental wellbeing at some point across their life and may need some extra supports when managing this. Perhaps you may have experienced something very challenging, upsetting or traumatic, recently or in the past, which you are finding difficult to process. Alternatively, you may be feeling tired, frustrated with life and lacking motivation for those parts of life from which you used to take enjoyment. Emotional wellbeing can impact greatly on varying aspects of daily life, hinder the ability to carry out normal daily activities and can cause conflict with those close to us.

Behind every person who feels despair, lost, alone, helpless, panicked, depressed, trapped, is a person who can be helped. Sharing the burden, feeling supported, being heard, not feeling judged, empathy- these are all aspects of counselling that I provide. For some, it means telling their story and being heard properly, maybe for the first time ever. I have a passion for helping people to understand themselves better and working with them to remove the blocks in the way of their inner peace. Importantly, I always believe that change, release from suffering and a better way forward is possible for every person.
