About Thomas

They also support people facing addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, sleeping or eating difficulties, parenting strain, and issues around identity including LGBT matters. Thomas works with career questions, bipolar challenges, ADHD and a wide range of life changes and coaching needs.
Thomas practices in a humanistic way, aiming to understand each person's experience rather than label it.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and gently challenging unhelpful patterns. This approach is warm and direct, with an emphasis on honesty and acceptance to help people make meaningful choices. Thomas has a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration, shown as BACP, and brings 13 years of professional experience.
Their background includes work in health care, higher education, third sector organisations and independent practice. That range means they have seen many different life situations and practical concerns. In sessions Thomas adapts the way they work to suit individual needs.
They draw on attachment-based thinking, client-centred listening and cognitive approaches when useful. The focus is on practical steps you can try between meetings as well as talking things through in the room. Thomas aims to create an atmosphere of respect, sensitivity and compassion.
They will tailor conversations and a plan to your circumstances. The process is collaborative and intended to help you move toward clearer thinking and more effective choices.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Thomas will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan based on your goals, needs and preferences. That means the method can shift over time if something else seems more helpful, and decisions are made together rather than imposed.
Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone calls are handy when bandwidth is limited, live chat can fit a short check-in during a busy day and messaging lets you write through thoughts between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel.
