I work from an integrative approach, drawing on different therapeutic ideas and approaches to meet you as an individual rather than expecting one approach to fit everyone.
I believe the relationship we build in counselling is at the heart of the therapeutic process. Having a space where you feel heard, understood and accepted can help create an opportunity to explore your experiences that may have felt difficult to explore elsewhere.
Together, we can explore your thoughts, emotions, relationships and patterns of behaviour, developing a greater understanding of your experience and helping identify areas you wish to change. I aim to work collaboratively, giving you space to explore at your pace, while supporting you to develop greater awareness, choice and a sense of agency.
My approach is not about telling you what you should do. It is about creating a space where we can make sense of your experiences together and explore a pathway forward that feels meaningful to you.
Hello, I'm Tom, a UKCP Accredited Psychotherapeutic Counsellor offering online and telephone counselling for adults across the UK.
I understand that reaching out for counselling can feel like a big step, particularly when you may not know exactly where to begin. My aim is to provide a safe, welcoming and non-judgemental environment where you can explore things are your pace.
I have experience working with people experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and challenging life changes. I also work with people who may be struggling with something that feels difficult to put into words.
As an integrative counsellor, I draw on different therapeutic approaches to help find what feels right for you. At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship. Focused on creating an environment where you can feel heard, understood and able to explore what is happening for you.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
