Aaron Thorpe, BACP

Aaron Thorpe is a counsellor who focuses on building strong, honest relationships in therapy. He works to create a calm, welcoming space where people feel heard and respected. Aaron uses clear language and practical explanations to help clients understand what they are living through and where they want to go next.

He draws on five clinical approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to shape sessions. Aaron pays attention to patterns that repeat in relationships and personal life, and helps bring those patterns into view so people can make different choices. He commonly supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, grief, and challenges around self-esteem and life transitions.

Aaron also focuses on issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and ageing and geriatric issues. He blends careful listening with practical suggestions and occasional reading or exercises to try between sessions. Sessions are tailored to each person’s values, pace, and goals so work feels relevant and achievable.

Aaron holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as his professional credential. He has four years of direct experience in therapeutic work and a longer background in education and leadership that informs his approach. He works from the United Kingdom and carries out sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling

Aaron uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred ways of working. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them block valued action, which can help with anxiety, stress, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from close relationships and how early bonds shape current connections, which can help with intimacy, abandonment, and caregiver stress. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a supportive, non-judgemental relationship where the client leads the pace and priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Aaron will discuss different methods with each person and decide together which direction fits best. This is collaborative and can change as needs and goals evolve.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into busy days, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online sessions can also make brief check-ins or focused coaching-style meetings simpler to schedule. Ask about practical details when you arrange your first appointment so sessions match your routine and preferences.
