About Tim
Tim Aitchison is a counsellor who focuses on helping people find greater self worth and steadier emotional ground. He speaks plainly about feelings like anxiety, shame, grief and overwhelm, and aims to help clients change how they relate to those emotions.
Tim has been working as a supportive professional for four years and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Tim believes counselling is a place to be honest about difficult experiences without judgement.
Background and approach
He often helps people who are coping with loss, trauma, addictions, chronic illness, or day to day stress. He also works with people exploring intimacy, body image, parenting challenges and career pressures. In sessions he emphasises a collaborative relationship.
He helps clients set practical goals and checks in regularly to see if the approach is working. Tim uses straightforward, person-focused conversations to help people notice patterns and make changes that feel manageable. His background includes supporting members of the emergency services after traumatic events and working with adults who have experienced abuse.
He has helped people make behavioural changes related to substance use and to abusive patterns. This experience informs a calm, patient style in the therapy room. Tim follows the ethical framework of the BACP and works to keep sessions safe and respectful.
He invites people to shape their own therapy and to decide what progress looks like for them. If someone wants a practical, compassionate counsellor who talks plainly about feelings, Tim offers that way of working.
How Tim's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your view of things. The counsellor offers empathy and acceptance so you can talk openly and work out what matters to you. It is useful for issues like anxiety, low self worth and relationship strain.Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at the effects of traumatic events and helps people make sense of those memories and feelings. It uses careful, paced conversations to reduce distress and build new ways of managing traumatic memories and reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tim will discuss options and help decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and revisited as needs change.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations and seeing non-verbal cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when you can’t be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, homework support or when writing feels clearer. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health needs while keeping the focus on your progress.
