Edward Thomas, BACP

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps towards them, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It suits worries like anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s own experience and offering a supportive, non-judgemental space for exploration; it is useful for building self-esteem and working through relational or identity concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overthinking and improve sleep and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Edward will discuss these methods with each person and agree together which to try first. The choice will reflect the client’s goals, preferences and the issues they bring, and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video gives a face-to-face feel, phone can be better when bandwidth is limited, and text chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, study and family commitments while keeping therapy accessible across locations.
