Thomas is great; he listens attentively and recalls previous conversations effectively. I feel like he has a very good understanding of the issues that I am dealing with and he asks me difficult questions that cause me to reflect when needs be. I will continue to work with him as his support is really helping me to process a number of issues.

Well done for reaching out for help, the first step is often hard. What ever struggles you are feeling now, the good news they are temporary. Person centered therapy is based around the fact that people have an inner strength and wisdom that is often just being suppressed by the need to feel accepted and loved or, in harder times, just to feel noticed. The conditions provided by person-centred therapy can help facilitate positive change, helping you to recover your inner strength and wisdom again.
You are very much the expert of yourself and it is my role to provide the safe, respectful and supportive conditions to help facilitate change. I am not here to tell you what to do, think or how to feel - I am here to listen to what you think and how you feel and, by exploring that, help you make sense of it enough to move forward.
With over 11 years of dedicated experience as a therapist in diverse settings, including schools, the NHS, and addiction recovery programs, I've cultivated a unique and empathetic approach to person-centered counseling. My journey in the therapeutic field has provided me with a profound understanding of the intricacies of human emotions and the ability to connect with individuals from various walks of life.
My extensive background has equipped me with the skills to navigate the complexities of counseling, fostering an environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. The diverse settings I've worked in, from schools nurturing the emotional growth of young minds to the challenges of addiction recovery within the NHS, have honed my adaptability and resilience as a counselor.
Beyond my professional life, my experiences as a surfing instructor bring an element of passion and vitality to my practice. Just as the ocean adapts to different waves, I tailor my counseling style to meet the unique needs of each individual. As a father of two girls, my personal life enriches my ability to empathize with the struggles and triumphs of others, reinforcing my commitment to fostering positive growth and well-being in those I have the privilege to work with.
If this sounds like an approach that would work for you then please get in touch.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Thomas has been one of the most attentive, patient ans thoughtful people I have talked to. He's really helped me open up, encouraged me to think deeply and understand myself and my experiences. Would highly recommend
