Tom Lewis

I am a BACP-registered counsellor offering individual therapy to adults in East London and online.

Life can feel overwhelming, and there are times when managing the pressures of work, relationships and everyday responsibilities becomes difficult. You may appear to be coping on the outside while feeling anxious, stressed, disconnected, stuck, or unsure how to move forward.

Therapy offers a confidential space to slow down, reflect, and better understand what is happening in your life. Together, we can explore your experiences, relationships, emotions and patterns of coping, helping you develop greater self-awareness and a clearer understanding of what you need.

I work with adults from a wide range of backgrounds, supporting people with anxiety, workplace stress and burnout, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, identity concerns and addiction.

I have a particular interest in men's mental health and the pressures many men can experience around expectations, relationships, self-worth and expressing how they really feel. You may be used to keeping things to yourself, managing on your own, or putting other people first, but find that this is becoming harder to sustain.

I also support people affected by alcohol use and addiction — whether you are questioning your own relationship with alcohol or dealing with the impact of someone else's addiction. I have experience supporting clients and families affected by addiction and the challenges it can bring.

I understand that opening up can feel difficult. My aim is to provide a supportive, down-to-earth and non-judgemental environment where you can talk openly without feeling that you need to have everything figured out. We can work at a pace that feels manageable for you.

My approach is integrative, meaning I adapt the way I work to you as an individual rather than following one fixed method. I believe therapy works best as a collaborative relationship where you feel heard, understood and able to explore what matters most to you.

Before becoming a counsellor, I worked in retail and brand management. My own experience of therapy led me to reflect on my values and make changes in my life, ultimately leading me to retrain as a therapist. Alongside my private practice, I also work with a domestic abuse charity, supporting clients from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences.

What to expect
Sessions are usually weekly and last 50 minutes. I offer both short-term and open-ended therapy, depending on your needs.

In our initial sessions, we will explore what has brought you to therapy, what you would like support with, and whether working together feels like the right fit. As therapy progresses, we can focus on the areas that matter most to you and develop a deeper understanding of yourself, your relationships and the difficulties you are experiencing.

I offer face-to-face counselling from a welcoming and confidential space in Spitalfields (E1), close to Liverpool Street, Aldgate East and Shoreditch High Street. I also offer secure online sessions throughout the UK.

Get in touch
If you're considering therapy, you're welcome to get in touch for an initial conversation. You don't need to know exactly what you want to talk about — we can start with what's happening for you now.

I aim to respond within 24 hours, and we can discuss what you're looking for and whether I might be the right therapist for you.

I offer individual therapy sessions both in-person and online.

Sessions are £90 for 50 minutes.

I offer a limited number of reduced-fee spaces for those on a low income or currently unemployed—please feel free to ask about availability.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re unsure what to expect or whether it’s the right time.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before getting in touch. We can take things at your pace and focus on what feels most important to you.

Some people come with a clear issue, while others just know something isn’t quite right—both are welcome.

I aim to offer a space that is calm, supportive, and free from judgement, where you can speak openly about what’s going on.
