Aaron is a brilliant bloke. Only 4 sessions with him so far and I have learnt a lot about myself. If you are looking for a man of God, don't look any further, he knows his scripture and can support you in religious/spiritual ways also.

More about Aaron
- 4 years' experience
- Male
- BACP
I am an MA-qualified BACP, ACC registered therapist, whose passion over the last 20 years has been to see individuals thrive in all aspects of their lives. My belief is that this happens by creating high-quality therapeutic relationship with my clients.
I realise that for many people relationships have been the cause of significant pain and distress, which has led to a loss of confidence, poor self worth and a lack of personal value. In our sessions, we can begin to address these issues and rebuild a more integrated and confident sense of self.
I don’t believe that any one type of therapy is the best, but that the quality of the relationship we create is the main vehicle that will bring recovery and healing.
I work with men and women and draw from a variety of theoretical schools of therapy such as attachment, psychodynamic, person-centred and existential. However, my main focus is to create a space which increases your sense of value and worth.
You can expect to find someone who is friendly, warm, open, honest, knowledgable and approachable. I want you to feel accepted and that your time with me is a place where you can be yourself.
I have the skills to help you make excellent progress and that together you will be more confident, better able to manage difficult situations and begin to feel more in control of your own life.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Brilliant therapist- perfect for me .
An absolute blessing of a man. God uses him in such an amazing way
Aaron is a very professional therapist who helped me tremendously with a family issue I have been having for a significant amount of time. It would be an understatement to say that the experience was transformative. Thank you Aaron, I appreciate all you do!
Aaron is such a likeable, down to earth, easy going and understanding person. He always makes me feel comfortable, making our virtual space together a safe place, a place where I’m not judged, where I can be open and honest, and where we can work together in a constructive way, step by step.
Aaron is a greatly intuitive professional therapist that is also a very clear communicator and skilled listener. With this he is able to identify and ‘cut to the chase’ in complex situations; with an undeniable focus on you, and your mental health journey. His knowledge of books and supplementary material also adds guidance to the self help aspect of mental health, and his recommendations have been only a positive to navigating issues / big topic questions in my free time. I really enjoyed all my sessions with Aaron, from psychodynamic approaches, to philosophical ones, his expertise was a strong guide and catalyst for recovery and knowledge gaining - which is ultimately what you want from therapy. Strongly recommend!
Aaron was incredibly compassionate and understanding. He was personable and knowledgeable. I would recommend Aaron to anyone who needs someone to listen and wants to be active in their recovery or coping
I have worked with Aaron for a few weeks and he has helped a lot, he understood me straight away and has been supportive. Thank you Aaron.
Aaron is a phenomenal therapist. He has a real skill for insight and understanding - not just the issues at play, but the deeper and underlying factors as well.
Aaron is smart, understanding and one of the best therapists I have had the pleasure of engaging with. He uses helpful metaphors which helps to untangle complex ways of feeling into something simpler. We focus on emotional goals and I love that as Aaron has found a great way to work with my strengths and personality. I really love our sessions and cannot recommend him enough. Thank you!
