About Thomas
Thomas Roberson is a BACP counsellor with 11 years of experience. He takes a straightforward, person-centred approach and aims to help people untangle what feels overwhelming. He writes plainly and listens without judgement, focusing on practical ways to feel steadier and more in control.
He has worked across schools, the NHS, addiction services and private practice. That range means he has supported people through many kinds of struggle, from anxiety and depression to addiction and grief. He also highlights lived experience of ADHD, so people whose minds race or who feel emotionally intense may feel understood.
Sessions are calm and direct. The emphasis is on helping people hear themselves again rather than being told what to do. Conversations are paced to suit the person and to make space for honest reflection and clearer thinking.
Thomas often helps people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, family and parenting stresses, mood difficulties and trauma-related concerns. He includes work on body image, codependency, abandonment and the stresses that follow separation or foster and adoption experiences.
Outside of clinical work he is a surfing instructor and a parent. He uses that perspective to remind people that circumstances change and recovery is a process. If someone wants a grounded, steady counsellor who listens deeply, he aims to offer that kind of support.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape emotional responses. It helps people who struggle with trust, attachment issues and patterns that keep repeating in relationships by focusing on safety and connection in the therapeutic relationship.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre. The counsellor listens deeply, reflects what is said and helps the person find their own answers. This approach often suits people who want a calm, non-directive space to make sense of feelings.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of traumatic events and on practical ways to reduce their hold. It involves careful pacing and techniques to help people manage distressing memories and build coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how things are going, and then adapt methods to fit the person’s needs. Clients and therapist shape the plan collaboratively rather than following a fixed script.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so check available options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time and make it easier to attend regular meetings. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth needs. Confirm practical details when you book so sessions match your life and goals.
