Thomas RobersonBACP

Thomas Roberson is a counsellor with 11 years' experience working across schools, the NHS, addiction services and private practice. He presents a calm, straightforward style and aims to help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or not themselves. Thomas writes plainly and listens closely so clients can make sense of their feelings again.

He works in a person-centred way that avoids lecturing or judgement. The client leads the conversation and Thomas reflects what he hears so people can notice patterns and make different choices. Sessions are practical and grounded, with space to name hard feelings and to plan small steps forward.

Thomas has supported people through anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma. He also helps with parenting strain, relationship worries, grief, body image and issues around attachment and abandonment. He mentions lived experience of ADHD, which shapes how he understands fast or scattered thinking and emotional intensity.

He aims to create a room where clients can speak honestly without feeling they must mask themselves. That approach is helpful when dealing with long-term stress, episodes of low mood, coping after loss, or when addiction has affected everyday life.

Outside work he is a surfing instructor and a father of two. He often uses that metaphor: conditions change and people adapt. Thomas focuses on steady, manageable change so clients can feel more settled and able to cope with life’s shifts.

Approaches that guide online work

Thomas uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches alongside Trauma-Focused ideas. Attachment-Based work looks at how early caring relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice how they connect and withdraw. Client-Centred work means the person leads the session while the therapist listens, reflects and helps clarify what matters now. Trauma-Focused work helps people process distressing experiences in ways that reduce their everyday impact and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Thomas will talk with each client about their needs, goals and preferred way of working, and then try methods that fit. Sessions can shift as the work develops so both client and therapist can see what helps most.

The original biography does not list specific online or remote session formats, so check current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed and can reduce the time spent travelling to appointments. Registered or accredited professionals and experienced therapists can adapt these approaches for conversations that suit everyday life and practical change.
