About Aaron

Aaron Squire is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship problems. He also supports people facing trauma and abuse, addictive behaviours, self-esteem struggles and grief. His approach aims to make difficult feelings easier to understand and manage.

Aaron offers straightforward, practical sessions that focus on what matters to the person in front of him. He listens, asks clear questions and works with clients to find steps they can try between sessions. There is no judgement in the room, just direct conversations that get to the heart of the issue.

He uses ideas from client-centred work, cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic thinking to shape sessions. He draws these approaches together around each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script. That means some weeks are about noticing thoughts and patterns, and other weeks look at past experiences that keep causing pain.

Aaron has three years of professional experience in therapeutic work and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. He works with people in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English.

People do not need to have everything figured out before starting. The aim is to help people feel steadier, more connected to what matters and better able to cope with life's changes. To begin, clients follow the site process to match with him and then arrange sessions according to his schedule.

Approaches used in online counselling and how they help

Aaron commonly draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in online sessions. Client-centred work focuses on listening closely and building a trusting relationship so a person can explore feelings at their own pace; it helps when someone needs a calm, steady space to be heard. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to break unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Decisions about method are collaborative and can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. In general, online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. It can also allow quieter, camera-free conversations if that feels more comfortable. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and conversation styles to suit remote sessions and a person’s day-to-day routine.
