Aaron Thorpe, BACP

Aaron Thorpe is a BACP counsellor with four years of practice as a therapist, and a much longer background in education and leadership. He focuses on building a strong, respectful relationship so people feel genuinely heard. Aaron aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and to find clearer ways forward.

He draws on approaches that help untangle patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices. Sessions begin with careful listening and simple questions to identify what matters most to the client. Aaron uses metaphors and everyday language to make complex feelings easier to understand.

Work often centres on improving communication, handling anxiety and stress, and making sense of loss or trauma. He also supports people dealing with intimacy issues, addictions, low self-esteem and major life changes. His background in education informs a practical style that blends reflection with action.

Sessions are shaped around each person’s pace, values and goals. Aaron may suggest reading, exercises or short practices between meetings to help progress. The aim is to help people build more stable routines, clearer boundaries and greater self-understanding.

People who choose him tend to want thoughtful, steady support rather than quick fixes. He emphasises relational change and practical steps so daily life becomes more manageable. If someone is ready to begin, they start by using the platform’s matching process to arrange sessions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Aaron commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without trying to fight them, and then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect current connections and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will discuss options and work collaboratively to choose what fits the client's goals, values and day-to-day needs. That conversation can include trying different ideas over a few sessions to see what helps most.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are available, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online work useful for fitting therapy into a busy life, reducing travel time, and keeping sessions to a practical length. Online sessions can make it easier to continue work between appointments, use recommended exercises, and follow up briefly when needed.
