About Aaron
Aaron Liam Firth is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people navigate relationship strains, grief, anxiety, low self-esteem and life transitions. He uses plain talk and steady curiosity to make sessions understandable and manageable for someone feeling overwhelmed. Aaron draws on seven years of experience and a range of practical approaches.
He listens first, then helps people tell their stories in ways that reveal choices and options.
Background and approach
He also teaches straightforward skills to cope with strong emotions and stick to goals between sessions. He works from a client-centred stance that prioritises each person’s experience. This means conversations are led by the client’s needs and values while the counsellor offers reflection and gentle challenges.
Aaron also uses Cognitive Behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and build new patterns of action. Narrative approaches feature in his practice, helping people reframe difficult events and separate themselves from painful labels. Attachment-based ideas inform how he looks at close relationships and recurring patterns arising from earlier bonds.
Aaron holds BACP accreditation, which signals professional membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sessions are available in English and can be arranged online by following the site’s booking process.

How narrative and practical approaches work online
Aaron blends Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that translate well to online work. Narrative Therapy focuses on separating people from their problems by retelling difficult experiences, which can help reduce shame and open up new choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, while clarifying values to guide action.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative, so choices about pace and techniques come from conversations between counsellor and client.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into short breaks, live chat suits brief check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to arrange regular contact and to keep progress moving when life is busy.
