About Aaron

Aaron Lewis is a counsellor who uses a direct, people-focused approach to help with anxiety and panic-related concerns. He emphasises a non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly about what they are feeling. He names his BACP credential up front as part of his professional background.

He draws on client-centred methods to build trust and to keep sessions grounded in the client’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify thinking and behaviour patterns that feed anxiety and panic. He also integrates mindfulness skills to help manage intense moments and hypnotherapy where appropriate to support deeper relaxation and focus.

Aaron has four years of professional experience working in the UK. That experience includes practical support for addictions, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, motivation and career-related coaching. He aims to help people set realistic goals and practice new ways of coping between sessions.

Sessions are conversational and practical. People can expect to talk through recent difficulties, try simple exercises in session, and agree small steps to practise afterwards. Aaron describes the first appointment as a space to identify priorities and decide together what would help most.

He welcomes working with a wide range of issues including grief, trauma and stress-related concerns. If panic attacks or sudden anxiety are happening, he will work with the person to reduce their impact and build longer-term coping skills. To start, users are asked to follow the site’s process to match and schedule a first appointment.

How these approaches translate to online work

Aaron commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise what matters most to the person. This means sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people decide their own next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to practise simple changes that lower anxiety and panic. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Aaron will work collaboratively to test methods and adapt them to the client’s goals and day-to-day life. Together they check what feels helpful and adjust pace and tools as therapy progresses. Please confirm the current session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to use guided exercises, breathing practice and mindfulness during a meeting so skills can be practised with support in real time.
