Aaron Thorpe
Calm relational counselling for everyday struggles
About Aaron
Aaron Thorpe is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He brings four years of clinical practice to sessions and focuses on helping people untangle emotional patterns that are holding them back. Aaron aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people feel listened to and respected.
Aaron uses a relational way of working that puts the client-therapist connection at the centre of change. He listens closely and asks thoughtful questions to help people make sense of painful feelings and confusing behaviours.
Background and approach
He often uses metaphors and plain language to make difficult experiences easier to describe. Sessions are tailored to the person’s pace, values and goals. Aaron helps people build clearer boundaries, cope with life changes, manage anxiety or grief, and address issues such as addiction, anger or low self-esteem.
He also supports those working through relationship, parenting and intimacy concerns. His approach blends acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-aware thinking, person-centred listening, and practical cognitive techniques. Emotion-focused work is used when feelings need to be named and processed.
Between sessions Aaron may suggest books, simple exercises or reflections to practise day to day. People can expect therapy that balances practical steps with reflective conversation. Aaron aims to help clients find clearer direction and more reliable ways of coping.
He works collaboratively, naming patterns and trying small experiments so change can feel achievable.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy asks people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, depression and getting unstuck. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape how someone connects and copes, and it is useful for intimacy, trust and communication issues. Client-centred therapy focuses on warm, non-judgemental listening where the counsellor follows the person's pace and priorities to build self-understanding and confidence.Aaron treats finding the best approach as a collaborative process. He will discuss what feels most useful, try different ways of working, and adjust techniques to fit a person’s goals and preferences. The aim is to test what helps in simple, manageable steps rather than committing to one method up front.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people see and hear each other, which helps when doing emotion-focused work or more in-depth conversations. Phone sessions suit those who need a lower-bandwidth option or prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support, or when someone wants to reflect between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and life changes while keeping the focus on steady progress.
