About Aaron
Aaron Thorpe is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He draws on a relational way of working to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn. Aaron aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can talk and be heard.
He uses listening, clear questions and simple explanations to shed light on patterns that cause pain. Sessions are shaped around the person’s pace and values so change happens in ways that feel manageable.
Background and approach
Practical suggestions and recommended readings are offered when they fit the person’s goals. Aaron works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, addictions, grief and stress. He also supports people with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting worries, career dilemmas and questions about identity and self-esteem.
He pays attention to attachment and how early patterns influence current relationships. His style mixes acceptance-based ideas, cognitive tools and emotionally focused work to help people notice thoughts and feelings, and respond differently. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier moods and improved relationships rather than quick fixes.
Sessions may include reflection on past experiences, practical skills for coping, and space to explore meaning or values. Aaron often suggests exercises to try between sessions so learning continues outside the room. He offers appointments from the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English.
People are guided through a short matching questionnaire to begin and then book sessions that suit their schedule.

Online support
He also works in a client-centred way, offering a listening, non-judgemental stance to help people feel understood. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - the therapist and client try things, review what helps, and adjust methods to match the person’s needs and goals. This means the plan can change as clarity grows.
Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different rhythms of life. Video lets people work face to face when that feels important. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into short breaks. Text and live chat are helpful for quick check-ins or for people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and work on goals around everyday commitments.
