Tom Broderick

Tom Broderick is a UK counsellor who works from a person-centred stance. He believes people know their own stories and brings a warm, interactive manner to sessions. Tom aims to build a calm space where clients can talk about what matters to them and begin to make changes.

He trained as an integrative counsellor and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That membership is shown as BACP in his profile. Tom blends person-centred work with other methods when they suit a person's needs.

In practice he helps people manage stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship issues. Tom also supports clients with LGBT concerns, ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, career questions and coping with life changes. He describes coaching and compassion fatigue among his areas of focus.

Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Tom listens, reflects and helps people discover their own next steps. He adapts techniques from different approaches to match what each person wants to work on.

Tom has three years' experience and works with people from varied cultures and backgrounds. To begin, he invites people to take the first step and complete the initial matching process so they can schedule a session.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. It helps people clarify their feelings and decide what changes they want to make. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, mood and anger-related problems.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Tom will talk with the client about their goals and try different ways of working to find what fits best. This is an ongoing discussion rather than a one-off decision, so plans can change as therapy progresses.

Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life, for example by removing travel time and allowing quicker check-ins. It also lets people use video or phone options that suit their comfort and energy levels; please confirm the current session formats before booking. Many people find that working with a therapist remotely still allows for meaningful conversation, practical skill building and steady progress toward their goals.
