About Tim
Tim Aitchison welcomes people who are looking to understand their sense of self and improve how they relate to their feelings. He writes plainly about self worth and how it shapes thoughts, actions and relationships. Tim invites clients to invest time in themselves and to work towards a more authentic, satisfying life.
He approaches counselling with a person-centred stance. That means he focuses on creating a safe, non-judgemental space where honesty and acceptance can lead to change.
Background and approach
Tim believes emotions can be useful guides once people learn to notice and relate to them differently. Tim has worked as a supportive professional for four years and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has supported people facing grief, long-term health problems, trauma and addiction related concerns.
He has also helped emergency service staff recover after traumatic events and offered work with people affected by abuse. Practical goals and collaboration matter in his work. He checks in regularly to make sure sessions are meeting people’s needs and adapts his approach as goals shift.
Tim aims to build a trusting relationship where decisions about next steps are shared. Sessions are offered in everyday language and focus on clear, manageable steps. He encourages clients to notice how they relate to their emotions, try small changes, and build on progress across sessions.

Online support
Approaches that shape online sessions
Tim combines Existential Therapy with Client-Centred work and Motivational Interviewing to support people online. Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice and responsibility and can help when life feels confusing or empty. Client-Centred work puts acceptance and a non-judgemental attitude at the heart of sessions so people feel heard and understood. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone wants to change a behaviour or find the motivation to take practical steps forward.Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. Tim will work collaboratively to figure out which combination of ideas fits your needs and goals. He checks in regularly and adapts methods as your situation and priorities change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and routines. Video is useful for a face-to-face feel, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or written reflection. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and clarity.
