Ms Aisling Bruce

Counselor

I am a qualified and experienced counsellor and psychotherapist based in Dublin city. I work with a range of issues. I work from a Humanistic and Integrative approach using aspects of CBT, Psychodynamic and Existential therapies. I provide a safe, empathetic and supportive space for clients.

About Me

As an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist, I offer a safe, empathetic space in Dublin. Here, we can openly explore a range of issues together. My humanistic and integrative approach blends aspects of CBT, Psychodynamic, and Existential therapies. This allows me to tailor support, helping you navigate challenges from multiple perspectives. Clients value this comprehensive yet personal journey towards clarity and a way forward.

Approach

With an integrative, human-centred stance I focus on how your story and current patterns meet practical steps in each session, helping us move from understanding to small, doable change. In my Dublin clinic or online in English, sessions are paced to your needs—sometimes reflective and exploratory, at other times structured with cognitive tools and brief tasks between meetings. We attend to safety, attachment and meaning alongside anxiety, grief or trauma, shaping gentle experiments and deeper reflection as suits you. Those seeking clarity, safety and collaborative problem‑solving often find this helpful.
