About Thomas
Thomas Kerridge is a PACFA counsellor in Australia with eight years of professional experience. He works with people dealing with addictions, anger, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. He describes the first step as a practical move rather than a dramatic one. Thomas aims to support that step without judgement.
Thomas focuses on clear, down-to-earth conversations. He listens to how events affect daily life and helps people spot patterns that make anger or addictive behaviour more likely. Sessions look at what helps in the moment and what shifts make those moments less frequent over time.
He treats coping with life changes as a set of practical problems as well as emotional ones. That might mean planning small changes, practising responses to triggering situations, or learning ways to recover after a difficult interaction. For compassion fatigue he explores routines and boundaries that reduce ongoing strain.
Thomas works from the view that people already have strengths to draw on. He helps clients map those strengths onto realistic steps. Conversations are concrete and goal-focused rather than theoretical.
If someone wants to get started they are asked to choose the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Thomas then discusses what to prioritise in early sessions and suggests simple exercises to try between meetings.
Therapeutic techniques and online sessions
Thomas typically uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on behaviours and coping skills. One approach breaks down how triggers lead to reactive responses and then teaches practical steps to interrupt that chain, which can be useful for anger and addictive patterns. Another approach targets day-to-day routines and boundaries, helping people reduce compassion fatigue and manage life transitions by changing small habits and responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Thomas will discuss options with each client and decide together which techniques to try first. He frames this as a collaborative process where goals and preferences shape the plan, and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day. Discussing practicalities early helps match session length and frequency to everyday life without promising a specific format.
