About Aisling
Aisling Evershed is a counsellor who uses a kind, compassionate approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and changes in life. She holds BACP accreditation and brings five years of professional experience to her practice. Aisling aims to build a strong, empathetic connection so people feel heard and understood from the first session.
She believes the relationship between counsellor and client matters most, and works alongside people rather than directing them. Sessions focus on talking through current struggles and looking at the beliefs and values that shape choices. That might include examining identity, motivation, confidence, or feelings that come from past hurt.
Aisling draws on client-centred work to follow what matters most to each person. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help with difficult thoughts and bodily stress, and elements of Internal Family Systems to notice different parts of the self that show up in relationships and decisions.
Many people come for help with anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction and relationship concerns including intimacy-related issues and jealousy. She also supports people dealing with grief, chronic illness, caregiver stress, work strain and changes in life direction.
Sessions are conversational and grounded in practical steps. Aisling helps people try small changes, practise new ways of noticing thoughts or reactions, and reflect on what gives life meaning. To begin, she encourages completing the short matching questionnaire and booking a first appointment.

How Aisling’s approaches translate to online counselling
Aisling combines client-centred work and mindfulness in ways that are easy to use online. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs space to be understood and to make sense of their feelings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises and ways to notice the body and thoughts. This can help with anxiety, sleep problems and stress.She also uses elements of Internal Family Systems to help people name and relate to parts of themselves that feel worried, angry or hurt. That work can make it easier to see how different inner voices affect relationships and decisions. Choosing an approach is collaborative; the therapist will help you decide what fits your needs and goals as you go along.
If you want online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online counselling easier to fit into busy days, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. Others appreciate being able to use mindfulness practices between sessions to reinforce what they discuss in therapy. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists listed here, will work with you to find an arrangement that fits your routine and aims.
