Flexible Counselling Options
Online or In-Person in Ireland
At Aspen, we understand that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to therapy. Some prefer in-person therapy, and some people are more comfortable with online therapy. Aspen caters for both (or even a mixture). We’re cognisant that clients have busy lives, and do our utmost to enable flexibility so that clients can continue to attend therapy in a way that suits their convenience, comfort and/or location. All our therapists are fully accredited and trained to deliver quality counselling in both online and in-person formats, so clients can rest assured that they will always be fully supported regardless of the format.
Why Choose Aspen Counselling?
A flexible approach to therapy
Unlike many counselling services, at Aspen we offer both in-person and online therapy sessions (or a mix of both) as we understand the need to make attending counselling as easy as possible in our clients’ busy lives.
Therapy without long waiting times
Aspen believes that clients should be able to access therapy without having to wait weeks or months. We endeavour to provide a consultation within 48 hours of making an appointment.
Therapy that is affordable for all
We believe that anyone who needs therapy or counselling should be able to access it, regardless of their financial status. We aim to provide a counselling service that’s affordable for everyone.
