About Thomas

Reaching out for support often takes courage, and Thomas Roberson recognizes that first step as meaningful progress toward feeling steadier. He works with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, burnt out, anxious, lost or simply not themselves, approaching those experiences as signs that life has become heavier than one person can carry alone. His role is to help untangle what is happening so clients can feel more grounded and in control again.

Thomas practices in a straightforward, person-centred way that avoids judgement and lecturing. He treats each person as the expert on their own life and focuses on helping them hear themselves more clearly. Over his 11 years of professional experience he has worked across schools, the NHS, addiction services and private practice, supporting people through a wide range of struggles including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and loss.

Thomas holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is the main UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. He also shares lived experience of ADHD, so people whose minds move fast, who overthink, or who experience strong emotional intensity often find they do not have to explain or mask those struggles with him.

Outside of therapy he is a surfing instructor and a father to two girls, perspectives that inform his belief that conditions change and people can adapt. He aims to offer a calm, grounded and approachable presence, listening deeply to help clients make sense of their experience and move forward.

Attachment, Trauma-Focused Care and Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that form in close relationships and helps people understand how early experiences affect current trust, intimacy and emotional bonds. It can be useful for issues like attachment difficulties, abandonment, blended family tensions and relationship struggles.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of traumatic events by helping people process overwhelming experiences and reduce their ongoing impact on daily life. This approach is relevant for survivors of abuse, people coping with loss, and those managing intense emotional reactions after distressing events.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, offering a respectful, non-directive space where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s lead. This approach supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life transitions by prioritizing understanding and empathy.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Thomas will work with each person to identify which approaches fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the focus as their circumstances and insights evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging allow people to access support from different locations and schedules. For many, this makes it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, and try approaches that suit their communication style while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
