About me
Hi, I'm Tom, I have been a BACP Registered Member since 2014 and work supportively to create a safe, non-judgemental environment. My background is in English Literature and Philosophy, with an interest in communication and I use this to enrich my practice.
I am primarily interested in what makes people tick and I incorporate a Psychodynamic approach to explore how personal psychology impacts upon behaviours and relationships. We all have personal histories and bringing awareness to them can be a basis for emotional growth. I focus on you and work collaboratively with clients of all ages, ethnicities, sexualities and genders.
What I do
I work from an Integrative perspective with a foundation in the Person-Centered approach, addressing the here-and-now and offering empathy, congruence, unconditional positive regard, all within a safe environment in which to explore what concerns you. Once we have established trust, we can potentially make use of the Psychodynamic approach, which may involve exploring any unhelpful thoughts and/or patterns of behaviour.
Our work may consider your relationships in the past and present, with reflections on your attachment style and how you relate to self and others, so ultimately our work will always be tailored to suit your individual needs.
I welcome any questions and I look forward to hearing from you.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
