About Thomas
Thomas Beardmore is a BACP-accredited counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 13 years' experience. He focuses on relationship and parenting concerns alongside a wide range of personal issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with intimacy. Thomas is non-binary and conducts sessions in English, and he accepts international clients.
Thomas practises from a humanistic and client-centred perspective. He listens for how life feels in the moment and helps people reflect on their experience rather than labelling it. Conversations aim to open up different ways of seeing things so people can try new ways of living and relating.
His work often addresses relational patterns such as attachment and abandonment, and he uses approaches drawn from attachment-based work and emotionally-focused therapy to look at feelings between people. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used where helpful to work on thoughts and behaviour that affect mood and functioning. Existential ideas about meaning and choice are also part of his practice.
Thomas has worked across health care, higher education, the third sector and in private practice. That range informs a practical style that combines reflection with straightforward discussion about next steps. He can help people with a mix of concerns including parenting strain, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and challenges around sexuality and kink culture.
Sessions begin with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Readers should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online working
Attachment-based work looks at how people relate and respond to one another. Online sessions can help identify patterns of connection and distance and offer ways to try different responses. Client-centred practice focuses on attentive listening and reflecting back what someone says, which translates well to video or phone conversations and helps clarify feelings and priorities.Cognitive behavioural ideas target thoughts and behaviours that keep stress and low mood in place. In online sessions this can mean setting practical tasks between appointments, reviewing how well they went, and experimenting with small changes that fit day-to-day life. These approaches can suit issues such as anxiety, depression, parenting strain and relationship worries.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Thomas will collaborate with each person to agree what to focus on, based on their needs, goals and preferences. That means reviewing what helps and changing course if something does not feel useful.
Confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand them. Registered or accredited professionals can offer support this way, and practical arrangements are agreed when booking.
