COUNSELLING WITH AISLING
"Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself."

Hello and welcome. My name is Aisling, I'm an Integrative counsellor based in Exeter. I offer a friendly, inclusive and down to earth approach to counselling. If you have found my page, then I imagine life might be feeling challenging at the moment, and you are looking to find some support.
Kindness and compassion are at the centre of my work, supporting without judgement, in a safe and confidential space. I believe that the relationship is the most important aspect of the counselling process, with an empathetic connection facilitating healing. It's important that you find the right counsellor for you, which is why I offer a free 20 minute, no obligation consultation call, to see whether you think working with me would be a good fit.
I have experience of working with adults of different ages, experiencing a variety of difficulties such as, anxiety, depression, overwhelm, stress, trauma, bereavement, low self-esteem and everyday life struggles, to name a few.
As a member of the BACP I have undertaken accredited training and meet certain standards within my practice. I follow the BACP ethical framework to ensure my practice is safe, ethical and puts my clients first.
PERSONAL COUNSELLING
WHAT IS COUNSELLING?
Counselling is a unique service, offering individuals a safe, confidential space to be heard and work through issues without judgement. Working together we can explore your worries and empower you to find solutions and make the changes you want in your life. We will explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours to better understand yourself and your relationships with others.
HOW I CAN HELP
I work in a person-centred way, holding the belief that you are the expert in your life, therefore I do not offer advice but I provide a supportive space to facilitate exploration. My role is to walk alongside you as we discuss any issue you may be struggling with, working collaboratively to explore your beliefs, values, motivations and discover what brings you meaning in life.
​Working together we can explore the relationship you have with yourself. The way we talk to and feel about ourselves is instrumental for how we interact with the world and form relationships with others. We can examine your self talk, explore how certain beliefs and behaviours have developed and find new ways to respond. If you're tired of never feeling good enough then developing self compassion can be a way to empower yourself, build self esteem, set boundaries and find peace.

"I have just finished a few months of counselling sessions with Aisling and wanted to say that the sessions have really helped me understand how to deal with my problems on a daily basis. I was in a bad place and the sessions really helped me to get back on track and also have a plan for the future. She was very helpful, compassionate and helped me feel more confident going forward. I am very grateful for the support, and felt instantly at ease. If ever I have further problems, I wouldn't hesitate to get in touch with Aisling, or recommend her to anyone I know who needs help in the future." - Anonymous
My sessions are 60 minutes long - I offer face to face, telephone and online sessions via Zoom at a fee of £55.
I also have a limited number of spaces for concessionary rates.
I'm based in Exeter but as I work online and via telephone I can work with individuals from all over.
​
I currently only have daytime availability.

I provide a free initial 20 minute consultation either via telephone or video chat to see how we get along and whether counselling with me feels like the right option for you.

"We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet listening, of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know."
