About Aaron

Aaron Squire works on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, low mood, addictions and a wide range of related concerns. He uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people make sense of what is happening and to find manageable next steps. Aaron is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience as a practising counsellor.

Aaron focuses on clear, honest discussion rather than jargon. Sessions look at current problems and recent patterns that keep those problems going. He uses client-centred talking, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and psychodynamic perspectives to help with thoughts, feelings and behaviour.

His work often covers relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, grief and coping with life changes. He also addresses issues such as self-esteem, anger, career worries, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related struggles. Additional areas include attachment concerns, blended family stress, chronic illness and body image problems.

In sessions Aaron listens, asks direct questions and helps people test small changes between meetings. He draws on narrative approaches to help people rewrite unhelpful stories they tell about themselves. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural work and mindfulness practices are offered where they suit the person's goals.

Aaron aims to keep the focus on what can be done now and next. He helps people weigh options, try different ways of coping and review what works. People are encouraged to bring the real-life problems they face and to set clear, achievable goals for therapy.

Approaches used in online sessions and practical points

Aaron commonly draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in sessions. Client-centred work focuses on understanding the person's experience and responding with attentive listening and reflective questions, which helps clarify what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Aaron will discuss what fits best based on the person's goals, needs and preferences, and he will make adjustments as treatment progresses. This is a collaborative process where techniques and focus are reviewed together.

Please confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not specify them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare or travel, and it can reduce time spent getting to appointments. Different formats can suit different practical needs such as a shorter check-in, less reliance on camera, or sessions that fit into a work lunch break; discuss options when arranging the first meeting.
