About Aaron
Aaron Thorpe is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of direct counselling experience. He works with people facing relationship strain, anger, anxiety, depression, grief and other life stresses. He also supports those dealing with parenting and career pressures, addictions, LGBT issues and trauma-related concerns.
Aaron draws on several clinical approaches to help people make sense of what drives their reactions. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversation. He aims to identify repeated emotional patterns and bring them into view so they can be changed. Expect metaphors and straightforward explanations rather than jargon.
He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to address thoughts and behaviours that keep problems active. Attachment-based ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy inform how he looks at relationship patterns and intimacy troubles.
Work in sessions is conversational and grounded. Aaron asks direct questions, listens for connection themes and suggests small, testable changes to try between meetings. He may recommend short exercises or reading to support progress outside sessions.
Sessions consider values, goals and the pace that feels manageable. People often come to manage anger, improve communication, cope with loss or move through big life changes. The emphasis is on usable tools and clearer understanding rather than quick fixes.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Aaron works with approaches that focus on values, behaviour and relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger, anxiety and life changes when behaviour and meaning matter. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. This is often used for stress, low mood and recurring reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early and current relationship patterns shape responses to others. It can help with intimacy issues, communication problems and repeated conflict.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and agree together which methods to try. That collaborative decision considers the client’s goals, how they respond in sessions and what feels most useful week to week.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow a steady series of short or longer meetings as needed. It also lets people use methods like in-session exercises and brief between-session tasks that fit into everyday routines.
