Background and approach

He also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, sleeping and eating problems, ADHD and bipolar-related difficulties. Beyond those areas he offers help with caregiver stress, ageing and geriatric issues, communication and commitment problems, and challenges linked to attachment or autism. He can talk through the root causes of recurring patterns and help people test new approaches between sessions.

Therapy sessions aim to be a calm space where choices are explored at the client’s pace. Aaron uses a mix of practical tools, reflective conversation and mindfulness exercises. The work is collaborative - goals are set together and adapted as progress is made.

How Aaron blends approaches online

Aaron commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client's priorities. This approach means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps people find their own answers. It is useful for building trust and exploring personal values and goals.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural experiments. CBT offers clear steps to test new habits and reduce symptoms linked to anxiety, low mood or sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Aaron will discuss options and adapt methods to match the client's needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative, so clients help choose what feels most useful and practical.

Online sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls suit deeper conversations with non-verbal cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing notes between sessions or a way to reflect without being on camera. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
