About Thomas
Thomas Roberson is a BACP counsellor with 11 years of practice across schools, the NHS, addiction services and personal work. He describes a down-to-earth style that is calm and direct. He aims to help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, burnt out or anxious find steadiness again.
He uses a person-centred approach that treats the client as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on listening, making sense of what’s happening and finding practical ways to manage feelings.
Background and approach
There is no lecturing or shaming in his room. Thomas has worked with many kinds of struggle, including stress, anxiety, addiction and grief, and he brings that broad experience into each meeting. He also speaks from personal experience of living with ADHD, so he understands fast thoughts, overwhelm and emotional intensity from the inside.
People can expect a calm presence and straightforward guidance rather than instruction. Thomas aims to create space for honest speech, to help people breathe and respond rather than react. He emphasises steady progress over quick fixes.
Outside work he spends time as a surfing instructor and as a father. He often uses simple everyday metaphors from the sea to remind people that situations change and adaptation is possible. If someone wants a grounded, accessible counsellor who listens deeply, he offers that steady support.
How Thomas uses attachment and trauma work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and how early connections shape feelings and behaviour. Online sessions use gentle conversation to notice patterns in relationships and to try new ways of relating that feel safer and more helpful.Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of the work. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what he hears and helps people find their own answers. This approach suits people who want space to explore feelings and make choices at their own pace.
Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to the effects of painful experiences. In this approach the aim is to help reduce distressing reactions and find ways to cope with reminders or triggers. It can be useful for people managing intense memories, anxiety or emotional overwhelm.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. He checks in regularly and adapts methods as you progress so the work fits your needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you see and hear the counsellor for fuller communication. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier if you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging is useful for short check-ins, noting thoughts as they arise, or fitting a session into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy working around life.
