About Thomas
Thomas Roberson is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 11 years of practice across schools, the NHS, addiction services and private work. He helps people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, burnt out, anxious or like they are not themselves. His listed concerns include stress, anxiety, addictions, family and parenting issues, relationships, trauma and grief.
Thomas uses a straightforward, person-centred style. He treats the person as the expert on their life and listens without judgement. Sessions tend to focus on helping people untangle what they are carrying so they can feel steadier and more in control.
He has substantial experience supporting people with a broad range of struggles. That includes matters such as self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, eating and anger, as well as coping with life changes, divorce and separation, and substance problems. He also notes work around attachment, adoption and foster care, blended family issues and codependency.
Thomas has personal experience of living with ADHD and says that perspective informs how he works. He aims to make space for people whose minds move fast, overthink or feel emotionally intense, so they do not need to explain or mask those experiences.
Outside his practice he spends time as a surfing instructor and is a parent. He frames therapy as practical conversation and steady listening, with the intention of helping people make sense of things and find ways to move forward when life feels choppy.
How sessions work
How his approaches work in online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and reactions. It helps when past connection patterns cause worry, trust issues or difficulty with closeness. Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the session and relies on careful listening, reflection and the client's own priorities to guide progress. Trauma-focused therapy addresses the effects of traumatic events by helping people process painful memories and reduce their ongoing impact.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Thomas will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit best for their needs, goals and preferences. He aims to adapt how he works as understanding grows, checking in together about what helps and what feels unhelpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins on busy days. It can also let someone choose quieter surroundings, avoid being on camera when preferred, or have therapy during a break from work. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists with similar backgrounds, often use online work to make therapy more practical within everyday routines.
