About me

Hello and welcome to my page, my name is Tom and I am a qualified and experienced counsellor. I am here to support you, whoever you are, no matter what you are going through. Seeking counselling can be daunting however I assure you, it can often be the first step to feeling more like yourself. Below you will learn more about me and how I might be able to help. If you would like to arrange a free no obligation phone call please email me.

How can I help?

I have a relaxed yet professional counselling approach and the focus is on you, and what is in your best interest. I am not here to make any judgements, I am here to be a supporting passenger on your own journey. I give you the time and space to explore what is on your mind and work towards any goals you might have. Its ok to be going through a tough time, and its ok to ask for help.

Our work together will be strictly confidential, giving you the confidence to know you can share what’s on your mind and that your thoughts will stay with me. I am easy to talk to and can help you with whatever it is you might be going through.

I provide a variety of counselling services to help with your mental wellbeing and mental health. I can support you with common life problems such as anxiety, depression, stress etc. I can work with individuals and couples looking to discuss their relationship.

I also specialise in working in three other areas, bereavement counselling, counselling those from the LGBTQ community and those living with or affected by HIV.

If you are interested in couples counselling please have a look at my dedicated website page: https://www.newhorizoncounselling.co.uk/couplescounselling

I also offer walking counselling and online counselling via Skype.
