About Thomas
Thomas Roberson is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. He helps people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, burnt out or anxious and those dealing with grief, relationship strain, addiction and anger. Thomas says reaching out takes courage and sees that first step as meaningful.
He works in a straightforward, person-centred way. He treats the client as the expert on their life and listens without judgement or lecturing. Sessions focus on helping people notice what’s driving their reactions and find clearer ways to respond when feelings run high.
Thomas has worked across schools, the NHS, addiction services and private practice. That range has shaped his practical approach with everyday problems as well as longer-standing patterns. He also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas when trauma or relationship histories are involved.
He openly shares that he lives with ADHD, so he understands fast-thinking, overwhelm and emotional intensity from lived experience. That perspective is offered alongside clinical work to help people who struggle to manage racing thoughts or impulsive reactions.
Outside professional life he teaches surfing and is a parent. He uses straightforward language and calm presence to help people make sense of things. To start, he asks simple questions, listens closely and works with each person to decide what to try next.
How his approaches translate to online work
Thomas uses Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy alongside Trauma-Focused Therapy principles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people understand why they get triggered. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own answers rather than giving instructions. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of traumatic events and supports people to process painful memories and reduce their impact.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Thomas collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means the focus can shift as progress is made or new issues arise.
If you want online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking because specific session types are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. It can also help people keep therapy going when life feels hectic, allowing practical steps to be tried between sessions and reviewed together.
