About Aaron
Aaron Thorpe is a counsellor who draws on relational ways of working to help people make sense of difficult moments. He holds BACP accreditation and brings four years of practice to conversations about relationships, parenting, stress and identity. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients feel heard and not judged.
Aaron focuses on helping people untangle persistent patterns that get in the way of daily life. He listens closely, uses clear metaphors, and asks questions that surface hidden assumptions.
Background and approach
This helps clients better understand feelings like anxiety, grief, anger or emptiness and see what to try next. Sessions are shaped by the person in front of him. Aaron mixes insight-focused reflection with practical tools, and he suggests books or exercises when they might help between meetings.
He pays attention to values and what matters most to each client when planning next steps. Clients can expect conversations that move at their pace and aim for clearer choices rather than quick fixes. Aaron works in English and sees people based in the United Kingdom.
He offers a straightforward way to begin therapy: complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule sessions that suit your timing. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Aaron commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in his online work. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current feelings, useful for intimacy issues, grief and parenting concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Aaron collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, values and pace. He checks in about what feels useful and adjusts the focus as progress unfolds, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, reflection between meetings, or those who prefer not to be on camera. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
