Aspen Counselling Services came into existence in 2001, developed out of the need to provide a high quality counselling and psychotherapy service to the Lucan area as well as the greater Dublin and surrounding areas. We began with the concept of creating a holistic centre where clients could come and explore their issues and needs in a confidential, safe holding space.

Linda Balfe, Margaret Maguire Doyle and Dawn Nance, developed Aspen Counselling Services with this idea in mind. Margaret Maguire Doyle recently stepped down as Director of Aspen and we have the pleasure of welcoming two new directors, Michelle Maher and Louise Yourell. We serve as the Directors of Aspen Counselling Services, and strive to bring into Aspen therapists who work from this approach.

We feel we have succeeded in creating a community of highly qualified therapists working from a variety of backgrounds and approaches who share in our same vision. We have been fortunate to expand our services to Mullingar and the surrounding Midland areas, basing our new centre in Mullingar, Co. Westmeath.

Our aim is to provide quality therapy to the public by highly qualified therapists in a holistic, confidential and safe environment. We endeavor to help people in finding a therapist who will assist them in their journey towards self understanding and promoting changes that will result in a better quality of life.

In 2001 Linda Balfe, Margaret Maguire Doyle and Dawn Nance set up what became Aspen Counselling Services. We incorporated into a limited company in 2003 and have just opened our second centre in Mullingar as of July 2007. As Margaret Maguire Doyle stepped down as Director in July 2008, we had the pleasure of welcoming two new directors, Michelle Maher and Louise Yourell. We pride ourselves in bringing together from the beginning,  highly qualified therapists who work from our common ethos. All of our therapists have trained and qualified in respected and recognized programs and have attained or are working towards attaining their accreditation.
