About Thomas
Thomas Roberson is a counsellor with 11 years of experience. He uses a down-to-earth, person-centred style that focuses on listening and helping people make sense of what’s happening. He describes himself as calm, direct and easy to talk to.
Thomas also lives with ADHD and says this gives him first-hand insight into racing thoughts and emotional intensity. He aims to help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or not themselves. Sessions are plainspoken and practical.
Background and approach
Thomas avoids lecturing and instead helps clients hear their own thoughts more clearly so they can choose what to do next. Thomas has worked in schools, the NHS, addiction services and independent practice. That range means he has experience with many kinds of stress and life changes.
He can talk through issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, addictions and problems around intimacy or self‑esteem. Parenting concerns are part of his focus, so he supports people dealing with the strain and decisions that come with parenting. He also offers help for attachment issues, adoption and foster care questions, blended family dynamics and separation.
He writes simply and uses everyday language in sessions. People meet a practitioner who aims to be steady and practical. Thomas uses Attachment‑Based, Client‑Centred and Trauma‑Focused ways of working to match what each person needs.
Outside of work he spends time with his two daughters and teaches surfing, which he says reminds him that change is possible. If someone wants a straightforward listener who helps organise thoughts and plan small steps, Thomas offers that kind of collaborative support.

How Thomas blends therapeutic approaches for online work
Thomas uses Attachment‑Based work to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. This approach helps when people struggle with trust, closeness or attachment issues and want to understand recurring patterns.He also draws on Client‑Centred therapy, which means sessions are guided by the person in front of him. The counsellor aims to listen carefully, reflect what is heard and help clients make their own choices about next steps.
Trauma‑Focused methods are used when past events continue to cause distress. The focus is on helping someone process difficult memories at a pace they can manage and reduce the way those memories disrupt daily life.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Thomas will discuss what fits your needs and adjust methods as you go. He works collaboratively to set goals, try different ways of working and check progress together.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or need a lower bandwidth option. Live chat and text‑based messaging can be used for shorter check‑ins, ongoing reflections and for people who find writing their thoughts easier. These formats can make it simpler to fit therapy around work, parenting and travel.
