Aaron Squire, BACP

Aaron Squire is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem. He also supports clients facing addiction, grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, anger, career questions, and coping with life changes. His approach is direct and practical, aimed at helping people make sense of what is happening and find manageable steps forward.

Sessions are straightforward and non-judgemental. Aaron listens, asks clear questions, and challenges unhelpful patterns when needed. He focuses on honest conversation rather than management jargon, and aims to help people feel steadier and more connected to what matters.

He holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has worked in mental health roles for several years. That experience informs a range of ways of working rather than a single method. Aaron uses what fits each person’s situation rather than pushing one technique.

Typical sessions mix exploration of life history with practical tools for day-to-day coping. He draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, psychodynamic thinking, narrative techniques, and mindfulness in ways that suit the client. Many people come for help with relationship worry and jealousy-related concerns, and sessions aim to create clearer thinking and calmer reactions.

Aaron presents as down-to-earth and straightforward. He encourages people to begin even when they do not have all the answers. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How certain approaches translate to online work

Aaron commonly draws on client-centred principles and cognitive behavioural ideas in sessions. Client-centred work focuses on understanding the person’s experience, listening carefully, and responding to what matters most to the individual; it suits people who need space to be heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions, and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Aaron will work collaboratively to decide what methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That may mean mixing listening-based work with practical CBT techniques or introducing mindfulness and narrative ideas as needed.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm formats before booking. In general online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to maintain continuity when life gets busy, helping people build steady habits and carry therapeutic work into everyday routines.
