About Thomas
Thomas Roberson is a counsellor with 11 years of experience. He works in a straightforward, person-centred way and aims to help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or not themselves. He says reaching out is a brave step and focuses on helping people feel steadier and more in control.
He keeps sessions simple and non-judgemental. Clients are treated as the expert on their own lives while he listens, reflects and helps untangle what feels tangled. There is no lecturing or quick fixes - the emphasis is on being heard and making sense of things together.
Thomas has worked in schools, the NHS, addiction services and private practice. That background means he has experience with a wide range of life problems, including stress, addiction, depression and trauma. He also notes personal experience of living with ADHD, which he brings into his understanding of racing thoughts and emotional intensity.
People come to him for issues such as relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, body image, eating concerns and codependency. He uses approaches that centre attachment, client-led conversation and trauma-focused care to guide the work.
Outside of counselling, he is a surfing instructor and a father to two daughters. He often uses everyday metaphors about changing conditions to encourage practical shifts. If someone wants a calm, grounded listener who helps them find clearer thinking, he presents himself as that kind of counsellor.
How his approaches guide online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and feeling safe with others. It can help when abandonment, attachment issues or patterns of codependency affect relationships and self worth.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace, helping them hear themselves more clearly and make their own choices.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on how past harm still affects daily life. It aims to reduce distressing memories and reactions and to help people regain steadiness after abuse, loss or other traumatic events.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to clarify what feels most helpful based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That means trying out ways of working and adjusting as understanding grows.
If you are considering online sessions, check which formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Confirm whether sessions are audio, video or another option through the platform. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around busy days, reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins and give options for different communication styles such as not being on camera.
