Testimonials
'Aisling at Life Given is simply wonderful!
I began sessions with Aisling with the goal of setting myself a timetable to help me manage my time so I could have dedicated time to focus on furthering my career. I was able to achieve this and so much more. Aisling is always well prepared for sessions, has a wealth of exercises and methods to use during sessions and to take away with you and employ between sessions and beyond. She allows room and space for you to speak and creates a very comfortable space where you feel supported and heard. Most importantly it is clear from the very moment you meet Aisling that she cares and wants only the best for you.
I was able to reignite my track of self improvement. And on top of that I have applied and gained several funding streams to further my career which has set me up for an incredible 2024! It was through the encouragement of Aisling that I was confident enough to get rid of the imposter syndrome and get applying for funding streams.
In short Aisling is Brilliant!
Do yourself a favour, book in with Aisling and thank me later!'

"I first met Aisling at a Chimp Management retreat. I was totally blown away by this incredibly knowledgeable, professional and experienced, yet warm, kind, caring and insightful young woman.
I then attended one of her vision boarding Sundays; I drove home with my heart singing and full of hope. I wanted to stay longer and do more and pour out my whole life story; I felt that Aisling had created that safe space. (And the homemade scones were a real treat!)
My story goes on... Aisling and I met up in a coffee shop with my 18 year old daughter. Deep down I knew they would get on and Aisling would be able to gain her confidence and trust to be able to steer, guide, cajole, motivate and encourage her through the last months of revision and sitting her A levels. As we walked into the coffee shop Maisie asked me to do the talking as she was anxious. My response was that wouldn't be necessary as she'd love Aisling, because she's a truly lovely person. I hardly got one sentence out before Maisie started talking and she wouldn't have stopped if we didn't have to get back to the car park. Maisie was beaming as we left and full of joy and happy anticipation of the work they would do together, having found the person she'd been looking for and needing through all these difficult years.
Thank you Aisling.
My last thoughts would be that I am so convinced by what I already know about Aisling, that I have recommended her to the senior management team at my school to do inset training.
If you have any doubt about whether Aisling's services will be worth it, stop right there and sign up, press send or whatever you need to do to get yourself booked in; you won't regret it."

'Aisling has helped me so much, I felt so lost in my professional life and struggled to find a balance in my life. After a few sessions of coaching and a vision board (that was truly eye-opening), I feel like I know what I want and need in life to achieve that balance. I’m a work in progress and I now feel unapologetic for listening to my heart so I can be more aligned with who I am. Thank you Aisling for your help and support.'

About Life Given
What really matters?
In 2023, I established Life Given with the intention of helping people discover their direction in life and set meaningful goals so that they could lead a purposeful life. My passion lies in working with individuals from all walks of life. Many of those I collaborate with often encounter crossroads in their lives and turn to me for support in moving forward. I gain immense satisfaction from helping people focus on the present and assisting them in charting their course for the future.
I offer personalised coaching sessions, workshops, and bespoke support programs to help individuals explore their values, set meaningful goals, and feel empowered, by providing them with tools and strategies for self-reflection and future decision-making. I enhance the overall experience for my clients by building a positive and supportive community around Life Given, online, through in-person forums, social media, and networking events.
"Staying current with the latest trends in personal development and coaching is a priority for me to ensure that I provide relevant and effective support. With a background in education spanning 20 years, I hold a deep appreciation for academia and lifelong learning. In 2024 I will complete an MSc in Psychology, to further my understanding and enhance the support I offer to those I work with.

The life coaching process encompasses both personal and professional development or goal orientated areas of your life that you would like to achieve or improve in. Some people my feel stuck and not know what it is that is holding back. Life coaching helps people gain insight into these challenges and discover how to overcome them.

100%! What happens in our sessions stays in our sessions, just like seeing a therapist.
The time that your coaching process will take depends on the complexity of your goals and your commitment and openness to your process. Six sessions is usually advisable to begin with and this can help set the direction for your coaching.
