About Thomas
Thomas Roberson is a counsellor with 11 years' experience who draws on work in schools, the NHS, addiction services and independent practice. He aims to make first contact easier and to help people feel steadier when life feels overwhelming. Thomas describes himself as calm, straightforward and non-judgemental in his approach.
He works in a person-centred way that foregrounds the client's experience. Sessions focus on listening, helping people notice patterns, and making practical changes that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
He seeks to create a space where people can speak honestly and stop feeling like they must mask or explain themselves. Thomas has supported people with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship difficulties and trauma-related issues. He also helps with family and parenting strains, body image and coping with big life changes.
His lived experience of ADHD informs how he understands concentration, emotional intensity and racing thoughts. In practical terms he offers different session formats to fit routines and needs. That can make it easier to maintain therapy around work, childcare or other commitments.
He is based in the United Kingdom and lists BACP as his credential. Outside of counselling he spends time with his two daughters and teaches surfing. He often uses this everyday language - conditions change, people change - to help people see that forward movement is possible even when things feel difficult.

How Thomas uses attachment, client-centred and trauma work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Thomas helps people notice how those patterns affect trust, boundaries and closeness so they can try different ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the centre of the work; sessions are led by what the client brings and the therapist reflects what is said to help clarify thoughts and feelings. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the ongoing impact of traumatic events by pacing difficult memories and building coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Thomas treats the choice as collaborative and will check in about what feels helpful. He adapts methods to match a person's needs, goals and how they prefer to communicate rather than insisting on a single technique.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who process better in writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, childcare or travel, and they let registered or accredited professionals and therapists offer help to people who are not local.
