About Tim
Tim Aitchison is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He focuses on problems such as anger, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions and relationship difficulties. Sessions are presented in plain language and aim to help clients understand how self-worth shapes feelings and behaviour.
Tim describes self-worth as central to how people feel and act. He invites clients to look at their relationship with emotions so feelings become useful guides rather than things to avoid. He writes from personal experience of having needed help, and brings that perspective into his practice.
He works in a person-centred way, promoting honesty and acceptance about what people are experiencing. Tim is a qualified therapeutic counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the BACP. He follows the BACP ethical framework and relevant statutory laws.
Tim uses practical methods to support behaviour change and emotional recovery. He has offered help to people dealing with serious physical health issues, grief, trauma, addiction and domestic violence. He also has experience supporting members of emergency services and adults who have experienced abuse.
In sessions he aims to build a clear working relationship and involve clients in deciding what happens next. He checks in regularly about progress and adjusts his approach as goals change. This keeps the work focused and relevant to each person's situation.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Tim combines person-centred work with solution-focused and motivational elements. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people speak honestly about their feelings to build self-understanding. Solution-focused work looks for small, practical steps a person can try between sessions to reduce anger or improve coping. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change patterns such as substance use or repeated conflict.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will discuss goals and preferences with each client and agree together which methods make sense. The process is collaborative and he checks progress regularly, adjusting what they do as goals shift.
Session formats are not specified in his biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a longer appointment is hard to arrange. Different formats can suit different practical needs such as lower bandwidth, no video, or shorter sessions to fit a lunch break. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt their approach to make sessions useful within a person’s everyday life.
