“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”

- Carl Rogers

I'm Tom (he/him), an integrative therapist based in South East London. I provide therapy to clients all around the UK via Zoom, and in person at rooms in Crystal Palace, South London. I’m a registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).

What is therapy?

Chiefly, therapy is about being listened to, in an open, safe and nurturing environment.

My hope is that therapy allows you to know yourself better, to feel seen and heard in the fullness of what it means to be you. Together, we can try to deepen our understanding of that experience, and process that which might need attention. We can then use that knowledge together, to think about your life, and the choices your make about how you want to live it.

The process is different for every person, and I am here to facilitate your unique journey. This can involve working at the edge of what feels comfortable. My role in the sessions is to respond to your particular needs, however they present themselves.

Areas that I can address

  • Anxiety, panic and stress

  • Low confidence and low self esteem

  • Grief, loss and bereavement

  • Depression and low mood

  • Relationships

  • Trauma

  • Neurodiversity

  • Difficulties in career and work

  • Feelings of loneliness, emptiness and lack of direction

  • Existential questions

  • Working with your identities:

    • Gender

    • Sexual

    • Relational

    • Cultural

What to expect

Initial contact & call

I offer a free, 15 minute call to anyone interested in therapy with me. During this, we can cover the following:

  • What therapy looks like

  • What your goals or expectation you might have for therapy

  • How working together might help you achieve those goals

Ongoing Work

If we decide to work together, I can offer two ways of working:

  • Time-limited blocks of 6-12 sessions. These will usually have more of a focus on a particular issue that you wish to address, agreed with at the outset

  • Open ended, long term work

Practicalities

  • I see clients online and in Crystal Palace at present

  • Sessions are 50 minutes, weekly, and cost £70

  • I have a small number of reduced rate sessions. These are currently full, and I will update here if they become available
