Aaron Watson

To new clients: Aaron currently has NO after 6pm slots free.

Aaron Watson is an integrative counsellor who works with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a professional counselling body - and is also a member of the British Psychological Society. He has five years of experience and has worked with numerous agencies, including supporting emergency service charities that assist those who support many of us.

He uses a person-centred base combined with an integrative approach, drawing on multiple techniques and modalities to help clients meet their therapy goals. Aaron has experience across a wide range of age groups and presenting issues, and has worked extensively with the root causes of trauma and other reasons people come to therapy.

In each session he places the client’s needs and goals at the centre of the work, aiming to make therapy a place that feels safe rather than frightening. He works collaboratively so clients can leave sessions feeling more confident, more understood, and clearer about their emotional responses and values.

Aaron recognises how overwhelming it can be to begin therapy and will do his utmost to offer the space and support people need to explore what is best for them mentally and emotionally, then to apply those priorities within a therapy framework. He believes people have the capacity to reach their potential but sometimes get stuck through upbringing or life circumstances, and his work focuses on validating emotions, clarifying experience, and increasing comfort in everyday life.

Life can be hard and internal conflict makes it harder, so Aaron aims to put the client first and help them find a voice to hear themselves in new ways. He is a male, gay, non-religious therapist who works with issues including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, ADHD, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and family difficulties, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career matters, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. He looks forward to working with you.
