““The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
Carl Rogers
I'm Tom (he/him), an integrative therapist assisting adults. I provide therapy at locations in London Bridge and Crystal Palace, as well as online through Zoom. I’m a registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).
What is therapy?
Chiefly, therapy is about being listened to, in an open, safe and nurturing environment.
My hope is that therapy allows you to know yourself better, to feel seen and heard in the fullness of what it means to be you. Together, we can try to deepen our understanding of that experience, and process that which might need attention. We can then use that knowledge together, to think about your life, and the choices your make about how you want to live it.
The process is different for every person, and I am here to facilitate your unique journey. This can involve working at the edge of what feels comfortable. My role in the sessions is to respond to your particular needs, however they present themselves.
Areas that I can address
Anxiety, panic and stress
Low confidence and low self esteem
Grief, loss and bereavement
Depression and low mood
Relationships
Trauma
Neurodiversity
Difficulties in career and work
Feelings of loneliness, emptiness and lack of direction
Existential questions

What to expect
Initial contact & call
I offer a free, 15 minute call to anyone interested in therapy. During this, we can cover the following:
What therapy with me looks like
What your goals or expectation you might have for therapy
How working together might help you achieve those goals
Ongoing Work
If we decide to work together, I can offer two ways of working:
Time-limited blocks of 6-12 sessions. These will usually have more of a focus on a particular issue that you wish to address, agreed with at the outset
Open ended, long term work
Practicalities
I see clients in London Bridge, in Crystal Palace, and online at present
Sessions are 50 minutes, weekly, and cost £70
I have a small number of reduced rate sessions. These are currently full, and I will update here if they become available
Get in touch.
