Aaron Henry, MA, RCC Registered Clinical Counsellor
Anxiety, Perfectionism, ADHD & Couples Therapy — North & West Vancouver
Aaron Henry is a Registered Clinical Counsellor at Bach Counselling Group, working with adults, youth, and couples navigating anxiety, perfectionism, ADHD, recurring relationship conflict, and the particular frustration of being highly capable while remaining stuck in patterns that don’t shift. He holds a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology from the University of British Columbia, a Master of Philosophy from the University of Oxford, awarded with Distinction, and a PhD from the University of Toronto.
Aaron’s academic training was not in counselling — it was in the philosophy of mind, with a scholarly focus on attention, agency, and the mechanisms by which people become stuck or unable to act in ways that align with their intentions. These peer-reviewed published journals give him an unusually precise understanding of what happens cognitively and psychologically when capable people find themselves overthinking, self-critical, or caught in cycles they cannot reason their way out of. It is that understanding, brought into clinical practice, that shapes how he works.
His clinical work focuses on anxiety and chronic overthinking, perfectionism and self-imposed pressure, ADHD — particularly the gap between intention and follow-through — couples in recurring conflict, and disordered eating and self-worth. Aaron works with clients to understand what drives these patterns and to develop more effective responses, in their thinking, their behaviour, and their relationships.
His approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Narrative Therapy within a trauma-informed framework. In couples work, he draws on Gottman Method principles to reduce escalation and build more effective communication between partners.
Aaron sees clients at BCG’s North Vancouver and West Vancouver offices, and offers virtual counselling throughout BC.
