I can help you make space for yourself; a space where you are held rather than having to hold everything together.
Hello, I’m Aisling (ash-ling),
I am an integrative therapist and I work in person from a private counselling space in Southport and online across the UK.
I offer emapthy, non-judgement, warmth and acceptance and will meet you where you are now (not where you think you should be).
My approach builds rapport between us so that we can build trust, you can feel emotional safety and be therapeutically held within this space.
Research has shown that the quality and depth of the therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in successful therapy.
My therapeutic integration is guided by our relationship. I draw on different therapeutic models, tailoring my approach to you as an inidvidual. The approaches I draw on are Humanistic, Psychodynamic, Transactional Analysis, Existential and Gestalt.
The therapeutic relationship is at the heart of our work together.
It is important that you feel comfortable with me and that we feel like a good fit.
This is why I offer a free 20-minute consultation where you can talk about what has brought you to therapy, ask any questions you may have and get a sense of what it might be like to work together.
There is no pressure to make a decision during the consultation. You can take time afterwards to reflect on our conversation, how it felt to talk to me and whether you would like to take the next step.
If you would like to find out more before booking an introductory consultation please do get in touch.
