Aaron Bell

I provide face to face therapy in Leeds City Centre on Saturdays. I provide online therapy on Thursday mornings and weekdays in the evening from 6pm to 8pm

My approach is primarily person-centred, meaning I believe you are the expert on your own life and experiences. My role is not to give advice or tell you what you should do, but to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace.

I aim to create a warm, accepting and non-judgemental relationship where you feel able to be open and honest. I believe that feeling genuinely heard and understood can be a powerful part of the therapeutic process and can help create the conditions for meaningful change.

Alongside empathy and acceptance, I may gently challenge unhelpful patterns, offer different perspectives and ask thoughtful questions to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself. Any exploration is collaborative and guided by what feels right for you.

Whether you are experiencing anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief, stress or simply feeling stuck, we can work together to explore what is happening and what you need moving forward.

I offer one-to-one counselling for adults, providing both in-person sessions in central Leeds and online counselling via Microsoft Teams.

My practice is designed to be a calm, private and welcoming space where you can take time away from the pressures of everyday life and focus on yourself. I understand that beginning counselling can feel daunting, so I aim to make the process as comfortable and approachable as possible from our first meeting.

Sessions last 50 minutes and provide space for you to bring whatever feels important, whether that is a specific difficulty you are facing or a general sense that something in your life does not feel right.

I work with adults experiencing a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem difficulties, grief and loss, relationship issues and periods of change or uncertainty.

My aim is to offer a space where you feel respected, understood and supported as you explore your experiences and work towards greater self-awareness, confidence and emotional wellbeing.
