About Aileen
Aileen Boyle is a counsellor who uses an Existential approach to help people find meaning and direction in difficult times. She combines everyday listening with practical steps so conversations stay focused and useful. Aileen works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, loss and relationship strain.
She draws on five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. In sessions she gives careful attention to how life events affect daily choices.
Background and approach
She talks through trauma, depression, low self-esteem and coping with big life changes. Her work includes support around parenting pressures, career decisions, money worries and fertility concerns. Aileen uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ways of working to build a steady, respectful space.
Those approaches help when people are dealing with abandonment, attachment issues or problems with trust and communication. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to break unhelpful thinking patterns. Practical goals are set together so therapy feels relevant to day-to-day life.
For people coping with addiction, domestic violence, dissociation or codependency, sessions focus on safety, clarity and steps that can be taken now. She also supports those dealing with infertility, adoption and family tensions. Aileen aims to empower clients to make choices that match their values.
Conversations are collaborative and paced to the individual. She accepts international clients and holds sessions in English.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Existential therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. Online sessions using this approach help people reflect on values, life direction and how to act differently. It can be useful for those wrestling with big decisions, grief, or feeling stuck.Attachment-Based work looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and emotion regulation. In remote sessions this helps people notice patterns in trust and communication and practise new ways of relating. Client-Centred therapy places the person at the heart of the work with empathic listening and acceptance guiding each session. That approach supports people who need space to talk through feelings and arrive at their own answers.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as understanding grows. Collaboration helps match techniques to each person's life and aims.
Online formats offer practical benefits for busy schedules. Video calls recreate face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick reflections, ongoing encouragement and people who prefer writing. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life or when travel is difficult.
