Áine O’Connor

Áine has been studying and working in the area of counselling/psychotherapy for the past ten years. She specializes in couple and relationship therapy, and is IACP accredited. She values working with both couples and individuals who find challenges in their relationships. Her style of counselling is firmly rooted in a person-centred approach which attests to the core values of empathy, congruence, respect and unconditional positive regard. She has also studied various other psychotherapeutic approaches, for example Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, CBT, 3 Principles, and incorporates this knowledge into the therapy. She is also developing a strong interest in neuro-science and how it informs Psychiatry, Psychology and Psychotherapy and how these scientific discoveries are influencing how we practice. Áine is very passionate about her work and believes in love, joy and compassion being the birthright of all people. She is eminently hopeful for people to grow in mind, body and spirit; to be the best version of themselves, and by extension a great person to be in a relationship with.
