About Thomas

Thomas Roberson is a counsellor with a BACP credential and 11 years of practical experience. He describes reaching out as a brave first step and aims to help people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out, or not quite themselves. He writes plainly and listens without judgement, helping people make sense of their feelings and regain steadiness.

Thomas works in a straightforward, person-centred way that treats the client as the expert in their life. Sessions focus on talking things through, noticing patterns, and finding manageable ways to cope. He avoids lecturing and instead offers a space to breathe and speak honestly.

His background includes work across schools, the NHS, addiction services and private practice. That variety has exposed him to many different struggles and practical ways to help people move forward. He also mentions personal experience of living with ADHD, which he says helps him understand fast or scattered thinking and emotional intensity.

Thomas lists a wide range of concerns he helps people with, including stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and coping with life changes and disasters. He also notes focus areas such as attachment issues, adoption and foster care, blended family matters, body image and codependency.

Outside of counselling, he spends time surfing and parenting two daughters. He uses that experience to remind clients that conditions change and people can adapt. The profile invites those seeking a calm, grounded and easy-to-talk-to counsellor to begin the process of working through their current challenges.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and how early bonds affect current feelings. It helps people understand trust, closeness and patterns that repeat in adult relationships and family dynamics.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens deeply, reflects what they hear, and helps the client find their own solutions and clarity.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the way traumatic events affect thoughts, emotions and behaviour. It aims to help people process difficult experiences and reduce their everyday impact.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and then recommend which methods to try. That plan can change as the work unfolds and as the person learns what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking as they are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break and avoid being on camera when someone prefers audio only. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who use these approaches, can adapt the work online to suit quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth or shorter sessions.
