Dr. Aaron Henry.
I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with a Master’s in Counselling Psychology from UBC. Before becoming a therapist, I completed graduate degrees in philosophy at the University of Oxford and the University of Toronto, where I studied attention, motivation, mistakes, and identity. I now bring that knowledge into therapy — helping clients move beyond analysis alone and into meaningful change.
I work with people from all backgrounds but offer specialized services to three groups:
- Chronically ill, disabled & neurodivergent
- Athletes
- Academics & graduate students

Learn more about how I support the following groups...
Disabled & neurodivergent
I bring experience supporting individuals who are chronically ill, disabled, neurodivergent, or living with the effects of brain injury. I understand that many struggles in this area are the result of navigating systems, expectations, and environments that are not built with your needs in mind.
Therapy can be a space to process grief, frustration, identity shifts, and fatigue — while also identifying practical tools and strengths that can help you navigate.
Athletes
As a former Canadian silver medalist in trampoline, I have firsthand experience with performance pressure, discipline, injury, and the complex relationship between achievement and self-worth.
Competitive sport can cultivate resilience and focus — but it can also intensify perfectionism, anxiety, and fear of failure. I work with athletes navigating burnout, performance anxiety, retirement, and the emotional impact of injury.
Academics & Grad Students
As an academic, I understand the unique pressures of academia. I can help you navigate the constant evaluation, publish-or-perish culture, and the advisor and workplace dynamics.
I’m especially attuned to impostor feelings, burnout, dissertation paralysis, perfectionism, and the tendency to overthink as a way of coping. In therapy, we’ll move beyond analysis alone.
