About Thomas
Thomas Roberson is a counsellor with 11 years of experience across schools, the NHS, addiction services and independent practice. He uses a straightforward, person-centred style and aims to help people untangle what they are carrying. Thomas emphasises listening rather than lecturing and treats clients as the experts in their own lives.
He commonly supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression and the effects of trauma and abuse. He also helps those facing addiction, grief, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and difficulties with parenting and family roles.
Background and approach
Additional areas Thomas focuses on include body image, codependency, attachment concerns and separation after divorce. Thomas works in a calm, down-to-earth way. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual.
He avoids judgement and steps through problems with practical, everyday language so people can make sense of what’s happening. Having lived with ADHD himself, Thomas understands fast, busy thinking and emotional intensity from personal experience. That perspective can help people who find their thoughts racing or who struggle to settle.
He brings that empathy into sessions alongside clinical experience. Outside counselling he spends time as a surfing instructor and is a father to two girls. He often draws on simple observations about change and adaptation to help people find steadier ground and move forward when life feels unsettled.

Approaches Thomas lists

Online support
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of work. The counsellor listens deeply and follows the client’s pace, helping them hear themselves more clearly and decide what changes to make. This approach is useful for low self-esteem, life transitions and coping with emotional overwhelm.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the ongoing impact of traumatic events. It offers ways to work through difficult memories and the reactions that follow, supporting recovery from abuse, disaster-related distress and other traumatic experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will talk about goals, preferences and practical needs, then adapt methods to suit the person’s situation. This collaborative way helps make sure sessions feel relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a shorter check-in or times with lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging supports brief reflections between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress.
