Dr. Áine Lombard,
Clinical Director of Blue Sky Psychology

Currently not taking on new clients

Chartered Counselling Psychologist, C.Psychol., Ps.S.I.

Áine received her Doctorate in Counselling Psychology in the United Kingdom. She is registered as a Practitioner Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council, U.K., [Membership No. PYL31683] and a Chartered Psychologist with the Psychological Society of Ireland [Membership No. M12836C]. Professionalism, accountability and trust are at the heart of all her professional services.

In recent years, she became an EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner and has further qualifications in therapies such as ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. 

Áine draws on various therapeutic approaches to provide a bespoke, supportive, collaborative, and client-focused service. This means she will work with you, using the type of therapy that best suits you as an individual and considers your personal needs and circumstances.

Over the past decade, Áine has lived and worked in the UK, the Middle East and more recently, mainland Europe before returning to Ireland in 2022. As a result, she has worked in a variety of settings (NHS, charities, medical centres) with people from all over the world which has cultivated a deep interest in working with people who have experienced trauma and suffered abuse offering culturally sensitive therapy. Other special interest areas include addiction, living with long term physical health difficulties (diabetes, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, impact of cancer), weight management and working therapeutically with couples.

In her role as a Counselling Psychologist, she feels it is important to work collaboratively to engage with and understand your difficulties within a safe, confidential and supportive setting, where all her clients are treated with respect and compassion. The aim of the therapeutic work together is to enable the exploration of new perspectives and choices and find a way towards an improved sense of well-being.

Áine works with adults Monday-Thursday remotely and in-person in Dungarvan, Co. Waterford on Fridays only.
