About Aaron
Aaron Thorpe, BACP, is a counsellor who places relationships at the centre of his work. He aims to build a warm, non-judgemental space where people feel heard and understood. He draws on experience in education and leadership to help people make sense of difficult feelings and life situations.
He uses listening, thoughtful questions and simple metaphors to surface patterns that are getting in the way. That approach helps when anxiety, low self-esteem or repeated relationship problems make daily life harder. He also supports people facing grief, trauma, addictive behaviours and the strain that comes with caregiving or major life change.
Aaron blends practical tools with reflective conversation. He adapts the pace and style of sessions to fit each person’s needs and values. He may suggest reading, exercises or short practices between meetings to help people try things out in everyday life.
His work often focuses on understanding attachment and ways people relate to others. He aims to help people build stronger boundaries, clearer communication and more satisfying connections. He also explores issues such as codependency, commitment worries and feelings of emptiness.
With four years listed experience in therapy roles and a background in teaching, he combines directness with a calm presence. Sessions are intended to help people move from feeling stuck to having clearer choices and more emotional resilience.
How Aaron’s approaches translate to online work
Aaron draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy in his practice. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that reflect what matters most. It can help with anxiety, low mood and getting unstuck from unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and coping, and it helps people understand and change repeating relationship dynamics.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Aaron works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals, values and pace. He will check in regularly and adapt methods as progress develops so the work stays relevant and practical.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family life or work, reduce travel time and allow people to use quieter spaces when they can. Some formats suit shorter check-ins or conversations without video, while others support deeper, longer sessions. Ask about the available session types when you arrange a first appointment so you can choose what fits your routine and needs.
