Aryana Snows, BACP

Aryana Snows is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of clinical experience supporting people through complex emotional and relational challenges. She works with survivors of sexual and physical abuse and neglect, and she offers therapeutic support for trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, anger management, addictions, stress, anxiety, depression, and a range of intimacy and identity concerns including LGBT issues and alternative sexual cultures.

Aryana aims to provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where people can explore their experiences and build on their existing strengths. She approaches therapy from the belief that each person is the expert in their own story and that healing often involves both talking and creative expression. Her practice integrates conversational work with art-based approaches and embodiment practices to help clients access feelings, memories, and resources in different ways.

Trained in trauma-informed methods and influenced by polyvagal theory and mindfulness, Aryana also draws on broader frameworks such as astrology where clients find it useful. She holds membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which represents professional counsellors and therapists. Aryana supports clients through life changes, attachment and abandonment issues, coping with loss, and challenges such as codependency, dissociation, and compassion fatigue, offering empathetic guidance as clients pursue clearer, more fulfilling ways of living.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-directive stance where the therapist follows the client's lead, helping people explore their thoughts and emotions at their own pace; this approach is useful for building self-esteem, processing life changes, and repairing relationships. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices that help people become more aware of present-moment experience and manage symptoms of anxiety, stress, and rumination in everyday life. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access subconscious patterns and resources, which can support work on habits, mood, and trauma-related responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be explored collaboratively. Aryana works with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the blend of approaches as progress unfolds. Registered professionals and therapists often combine modalities to meet each person where they are.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter exchanges can happen via live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access support from different locations, and continue work between sessions in ways that suit individual circumstances.
