About Thomas

Thomas Quayle is a BACP counsellor who offers a calm, down-to-earth approach to therapy. He creates an open space where people can talk about what they’re carrying. Tom aims to help people feel steadier, more understood, and better able to manage day-to-day pressures.

He focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, anger and low mood. He also supports people with relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, parenting strain, career worries and coping with life changes. Additional interests include attachment and abandonment issues, infertility-related strain, body image and problems with communication or control.

Tom draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centred ways of working, along with solution-focused and trauma‑focused techniques. He works at the client’s pace and tailors sessions to practical goals. The aim is to build on a person’s strengths while addressing patterns that cause distress.

With four years of practice, he brings experience of common and complex emotional difficulties. He understands how hard it can be to reach out, especially for men who may feel pressure to cope alone. Tom offers support for people wanting to explore emotions, make changes or simply feel less overwhelmed.

Sessions are conducted in English and he is based in the United Kingdom. If you are considering therapy, use the site Start Therapy button to complete the short matching questionnaire and arrange a session according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Tom works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action even when thoughts or feelings are difficult. ACT can help with anxiety, avoidance and feeling stuck.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and tests new ways of coping. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression and stress-related patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, past experiences and preferences to decide which methods fit best. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats before booking to confirm which are currently offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone join from another location when circumstances require it. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements so sessions match daily life and commitments.
