He also helps with caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and problems with attachment and communication. He aims to be practical and straightforward in the room.

How his approaches work for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding your experience and following your pace. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what you say and helps you find your own solutions to stress, grief or self-esteem problems.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going. It uses straightforward exercises and change-focused conversations that can help with anxiety, panic and mood difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tom will work together with each person to decide which ideas and tools fit best for their goals and preferences, and he adapts sessions as understanding grows.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around daily life and reducing travel time. Because session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, confirm the exact options before booking.
