Hi, I’m Tom, and I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth. I know how difficult it can be to reach out for help, especially when life feels overwhelming. My approach to therapy is all about creating a space where you can feel safe, heard, and understood—without judgment. I work with people facing a variety of challenges, from anxiety and depression to trauma and relationship issues. I’m particularly passionate about supporting men’s mental health and understanding the unique struggles that come with societal pressures and expectations.

COUNSELLING AND WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM ME:...……………I'm a person centred counsellor. My approach is non-directive and you are the expert of our own life. I work in a non-judgemental and respective way. I'm a caring, empathic and friendly person. Sometimes we need to step back and review our life and refocus and look at what matters which will then enable you to make new decisions. I will offer you a safe and confidential space where you will feel listened to without any criticism or judgment.

In psychotherapy there is an opportunity to get to know yourself in depth and discover new ways of living your life. Often we have repetitive patterns and ways of thinking that can for instance cause suffering, frustration, anxiety and sadness in our life. Despite our best efforts to decide to behave and relate differently, we drift back to our old ways of being and behaving. In psychotherapy we will work at getting to know your unconscious inner life. A lot of feelings and thoughts we have are not conscious and psychotherapy gives you the opportunity to reflect and try out new ways when you feel change is needed.

My background in working for organisations across London & Kent gave me a particular understanding of the emotional challenges that many of us face including, depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, bereavement, relationship & family issues. I believe that evidence based psychological therapies such as cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) along with an integrative counselling approach allows flexibility in dealing with each individual’s needs. This, combined with a safe & non-judgemental therapeutic relationship is key for the process of change & recovery.

Life can feel overwhelming when need someone to share your troubles with, or when you can’t see a way forward from the situation you are in. Those around you might assume you are fine, but inside you feel lost, anxious, angry or disconnected. I will do everything I can to understand why you feel like you do — to listen without judgment and to help you work out how to get where you want to be.

I coach adults who outwardly appear to be functioning well day-to-day but, internally, feel weighed down, stuck or blocked by unhelpful thoughts, feelings or behaviours. Maybe you're dealing with a life transition, you're procrastinating, or your rumination is getting you down. The critical point is that you're not looking for a traditional 'medical' solution. You're not 'ill', you know that if you worked through some areas, you could perform better, reach your potential or just feel more content, resilient, or happy.

Men's Issues Counsellors
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.

How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.

What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
