Thomas Beardmore

Thomas Beardmore is a counsellor who helps people with anger, relationship and identity concerns. He works with issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and the stresses that come with parenting, work and major life changes. Thomas aims to give people time to reflect and to make the changes they want in life. He draws on a humanistic approach that starts by trying to see things from the client’s point of view. Sessions are offered with warmth, empathy and straightforward honesty. Thomas says he will reflect on what you bring and offer gentle insight that can sometimes challenge unhelpful patterns. Thomas uses approaches that focus on attachment, emotions and practical thinking. That means looking at how past relationships shape current reactions, noticing how feelings show up in the body, and trying small changes in thinking and behaviour. He adapts the way he works to each person, shaping the sessions to fit individual goals and preferences. He has been practising for 13 years and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. His background includes work in health care, higher education, the third sector and private practice. Thomas is non-binary and aims to treat everyone with respect and sensitivity. He supports people with LGBT concerns, trauma, addiction, ADHD and a wide range of emotional and relational difficulties. He frames therapy as a collaborative process to help people find clearer choices and better ways of coping. To begin, people are invited to reflect on what they want to change and take a next step toward a more fulfilling life. Thomas offers practical, compassionate support throughout that process.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Thomas draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships influence current responses and can help with anger, intimacy and trust issues. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering empathy and acceptance so people can explore feelings and make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and supports practical steps to reduce unhelpful reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and is explored together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and adapt methods to what feels most helpful. This means trying things out and adjusting the plan as you learn what works.

The profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule. It also makes access simpler for international clients who wish to work in English. Thomas will discuss practical arrangements and help match the approach to your needs and everyday routine.
