About Aaron
Aaron Squire is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low mood, trauma, relationship difficulties, addiction and a wide range of life challenges. He uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people understand their situation and find workable steps forward. Aaron is described as down-to-earth and non-judgemental, and aims to make sessions feel calm and focused.
He draws on Narrative Therapy to explore the stories people tell about themselves and their problems.
Background and approach
Narrative work can help with identity issues, shame, and patterns that repeat in relationships. He also uses Client-Centred approaches to keep the conversation grounded in the person's own priorities and pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, features in his practice when people want concrete tools to change thinking and behaviour.
Mindfulness techniques are used to develop present-moment awareness and reduce stress reactions. He also brings psychodynamic ideas into sessions to look at deeper patterns that have developed over time. Aaron has three years of professional experience in counselling and holds BACP registration.
He works with a broad set of concerns including grief, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, body image, communication and commitment issues, and problems linked to chronic illness. Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Aaron directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
Aaron commonly combines Narrative Therapy, Client-Centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when working online. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and separates the person from the problem, which can help with identity, shame and repeating patterns. Client-Centred work focuses on listening and following the person's priorities so sessions feel led by what matters most to them. CBT offers practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Aaron will work collaboratively to identify which combination feels most helpful based on your needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new issues arise.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when visual cues help, phone sessions suit those with less bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit short check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments while still working through the issues you brought in.
