Aaron Thorpe

Aaron Thorpe is a counsellor who works from a relationship-based perspective. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and draws on several therapeutic approaches to help people who are struggling with anger, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties.

He creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through painful experiences. Sessions focus on building trust and understanding so clients can make sense of their feelings and reactions. Aaron uses clear explanations and metaphors to make difficult emotions easier to name.

In practice he looks for the patterns that keep people stuck and brings these into view. That can mean noticing how past attachments shape current reactions, or identifying unhelpful thinking that fuels stress and anger. He blends listening with practical suggestions and reflective questions.

His style mixes psychological insight with everyday tools. Where useful, he recommends short exercises, reading, or small experiments to try between sessions. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, with attention to each person’s pace and values.

Aaron has four years of direct counselling experience and a wider background in education and leadership. He works with a broad range of concerns from trauma and grief to addictions, parenting strains and career stress. People meet him to untangle strong feelings and find clearer ways forward.

How Aaron’s approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting caught by them and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, anger and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections shape current relationships and helps people understand patterns that repeat in close relationships.

Aaron approaches choice of method as a collaborative process. He will talk about how different approaches might help and tailor sessions to a client’s goals and pace. Together they decide what feels useful and adjust as things change over time.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy into a busy week and keeping momentum between sessions. If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Many people find that remote work makes it easier to schedule brief check-ins, try exercises between meetings, or maintain continuity while travelling. Registered or accredited professionals are used to adapting tools and exercises for remote work to help clients progress toward their goals.
