About Aaron Thorpe

Aaron Thorpe is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional therapeutic experience. He works from a relational perspective that places human connection at the centre of change, aiming to help people feel more seen, heard, and understood. Aaron creates a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore anxiety, relationship and family challenges, parenting concerns, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, stress, depression, identity and intimacy-related issues, and a range of other life transitions.

His practice blends close listening with thoughtful questioning and practical interventions. Aaron draws on psychodynamic insights and philosophical reflection alongside evidence-informed methods to identify core emotional patterns and bring unconscious dynamics into awareness. He uses metaphors and clear explanations to help untangle complex feelings and to make experiences easier to understand and work with.

Sessions are tailored to the individual, taking account of personality, values and the pace that feels right. Aaron supports clients in building healthier boundaries, improving relationships, recovering from loss or trauma, and developing everyday skills for coping and growth. He often recommends books, practices or reflections between sessions to support progress. As a BACP member - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - he combines relational care with practical tools to help clients move toward greater clarity and resilience.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Aaron draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and to clarify what matters most so actions align with personal values - an approach helpful for anxiety, stress and life-change decisions. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, which can be particularly useful for relationship struggles, intimacy issues and attachment-related concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and transforming core emotions within relationships, supporting repair, deeper connection and clearer expression of needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself - Aaron works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting style and pace as the therapeutic relationship develops.

Online therapy with Aaron is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from home or while on the move, and to choose the communication style that best supports progress.
