About Aaron

Aaron Squire is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience in therapeutic work. He focuses on common concerns adults bring from home life - stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, parenting pressures and grief. He also supports people facing addiction, trauma and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Aaron keeps sessions direct and practical. He talks through what is happening now, helps identify patterns, and works with a person to try small, manageable changes. He uses a mix of approaches to suit the issue and the person rather than one fixed method.

His clinical approach includes client-centred work, cognitive behavioural strategies and psychodynamic ideas, plus mindfulness and narrative techniques as needed. That mix is used to look at thoughts, feelings and the stories people tell about themselves. He aims to help people understand recurring patterns that affect day-to-day life at home and at work.

Aaron often helps people who are coping with family stress, parenting demands, communication problems and bereavement. He also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness and caregiver strain when these come up in sessions. He treats concerns such as anger, career stress, ADHD-related difficulties and compassion fatigue.

If someone is unsure how to begin, he asks straightforward questions first and then discusses a practical way forward. Prospective clients choose an online matching step and then book a first meeting to see if the approach feels right.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Aaron draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy as core approaches. Client-centred work focuses on listening, reflecting what matters to the person and building a trusting conversation that helps people say what they find hard to say. CBT looks at current thoughts and behaviours and uses practical exercises to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns.

He also uses mindfulness techniques to help with stress and anxiety by teaching brief attention practices that can calm the moment. These methods are described plainly in sessions and practised between meetings where helpful. Finding the right mix is part of the work; Aaron and the client decide together which approaches suit the situation and goals.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Many people find online therapy easier to fit into daily life because it removes travel time, allows shorter check-ins around work breaks, and can make regular attendance simpler. Aaron frames online sessions so they fit practical routines and help people apply what they learn at home.
