Hello, my name is Tom

I am a BACP registered counsellor and psychotherapist, welcome to my web page.

I work relationally to help my clients to explore and resolve the issues which are distressing or troubling them. I offer short term counselling work, as well as longer term psychotherapy.

If you are looking for a warm and compassionate professional to help you address your difficulties in a confidential setting, please get in touch.

How I work

I work by creating a therapeutic relationship with you. Within this relationship, we address whatever difficulties you are experiencing. I am skilled at providing a reassuring presence within which you can feel safe, heard and understood.

I am curious about people and their relationships and have been told throughout my life that I have a warm, calming and non-judgmental presence which encourages confidence and intimacy from others.

I believe that many of the difficulties we encounter in life are related to problems in our interpersonal relationships, whether at home, in the family, with a partner, or at work. Sometimes, it's our relationship with ourselves which becomes difficult.

I am skilled at working with various different issues including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, bereavement and loss, relationship problems, issues around neurodivergence, alcohol and substance abuse, difficulties with work, self esteem, identity.

Outside of my private practice I work as a trauma focused counsellor in an NHS setting, working with adults who have had adverse childhood experiences.

You can view my profile on the BACP website and my Counselling Directory listing.
