About Thomas
Thomas works in a person-centred way. He listens closely and helps people talk through what feels overwhelming. He does not lecture or try to 'fix' someone; instead he helps people find their own voice and sense of control again.
Many people come with stress, anxiety, low mood, anger or problems with relationships and self‑esteem. Thomas also supports those dealing with addiction, grief, trauma and challenges around parenting and family life. He mentions specific interests such as attachment and body image, and can talk through concerns linked to adoption, foster care and blended family dynamics.
Thomas notices how emotional intensity shows up in day-to-day life. He shares that he lives with ADHD, so he understands rapid thinking, overwhelm and the need to make space for how a busy mind feels. That lived experience influences how he works in sessions.
Outside of work he teaches surfing and is a father to two daughters. He uses that experience to remind people that change happens and steadiness can be rebuilt. If someone is looking for a calm, grounded counsellor who listens deeply, Thomas aims to offer a straightforward and practical way forward.

Approaches that guide online work and how it helps
Attachment‑Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current trust and connection. It helps people who struggle with closeness, abandonment fears or confusing patterns in relationships to understand and change those patterns.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist offers active listening and gentle reflection so clients can hear themselves clearly and make their own choices about change.
Trauma‑Focused Therapy concentrates on how past hurts affect daily life. It supports people dealing with the ongoing impact of abuse, traumatic events or painful losses, helping them move towards feeling steadier.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Thomas will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts the pace and focus based on what feels most useful in sessions.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it possible for people outside the local area to access his 11 years of experience. The practical aim is to help conversations fit into everyday routines while keeping the focus on steady progress and clearer self‑understanding.
