Thomas Roberson , BACP

Thomas Roberson recognises that reaching out for help often takes courage, and many people live with difficulties longer than they need to. When someone feels overwhelmed, stuck, burnt out, anxious, lost or simply not themselves, he frames these experiences as a sign that the system is carrying more than it can process alone rather than a personal failing. He aims to help untangle what is happening so people can feel steadier, more grounded and regain a sense of control.

Thomas works in a straightforward, person-centred way that emphasises respect and nonjudgement. He does not lecture or try to "fix" people; instead he listens deeply and supports clients to hear themselves more clearly and find their own solutions. Over more than 11 years he has practised across schools, the NHS, addiction services and private practice, supporting people through a wide range of challenges including stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and grief.

He also lives with ADHD, so people whose minds run fast, who jump between thoughts, overthink or experience intense emotions will not need to explain or mask that experience when working with him. Outside the therapy room he is a surfing instructor and a father of two girls, and he often uses the ocean as a reminder that conditions change and people can adapt with the right support. He holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings a calm, grounded and approachable style to his work.

Attachment and Trauma-Informed Therapy Delivered Online

Thomas uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and trust. This approach helps people understand why certain relationship dynamics repeat and supports rebuilding safer ways of relating to others and oneself.

He also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritises the client’s perspective and pacing. This method focuses on active listening, empathy and supporting clients to access their own insights and strengths, which can be helpful for anxiety, stress, self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Where relevant, Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to address the impact of traumatic experiences by helping clients process overwhelming memories and symptoms in a paced, supportive way. Thomas takes a collaborative stance and will work with each person to determine which approaches or combination of approaches best match their needs, goals and preferences.

Online therapy with Thomas can take place via video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different lifestyles and time zones. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from a familiar environment and continue work consistently even when in-person sessions are not possible. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt approaches to work effectively through these remote formats.
