About Aileen
Aileen Boyle is a counsellor who uses a blend of approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship problems. She holds BACP registration, and brings five years of professional experience to sessions. Aileen aims to work respectfully and with sensitivity, supporting people who want change in how they cope and relate.
Her style is collaborative and practical. She listens first, then helps people set simple, achievable goals. Sessions look at current patterns such as avoidance, codependency or communication problems, and build ways to respond differently.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing trauma, grief, fertility or parenting strains. Aileen draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current reactions. She uses client-centred work to keep the person’s experience at the heart of therapy.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps with anxious thoughts and mood, while emotionally-focused and existential approaches explore feelings and meaning. She has experience supporting people with drug and alcohol addiction, domestic violence effects, dissociation and issues connected to adoption or foster care. Aileen also works with concerns around infidelity, abandonment, guilt and shame.
Practical life stresses like money worries and career changes are part of her caseload. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and pace. Aileen helps set a clear plan and checks progress together.

How Aileen works online
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioural steps. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and managing urges linked to addiction. Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work; the therapist will discuss options and together decide what fits the person's goals and preferences.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Many people find online work easier for fitting therapy into a busy week, reducing travel time and allowing quicker check-ins when needed. Online work can also make it simpler to continue contact if someone moves or travels, with the therapist helping to structure sessions so they suit everyday life and practical constraints.
