Timothy Slater, BACP

Timothy Slater is licensed in the United Kingdom and brings three years of professional counselling experience to his practice. He recognises that people can feel stuck, unhappy, or unheard at times - whether because of stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, difficult relationships, grief, addictions, or life changes - and he works with those concerns with calm attention and respect.

He practices from a Person-Centred approach, offering a warm, non-judgemental space where the therapeutic relationship is central. Rather than directing the process, he collaborates with people, listening empathically and supporting them to discover the changes they want to make and to move forward in their lives. This style emphasises understanding the person as an individual and responding to their pace and priorities.

As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Timothy follows the professional and ethical framework set by that organisation. His manner is grounded in empathy and acceptance, with the aim of helping people feel heard and supported as they work through personal challenges.

Person-Centred Care and Online Sessions

Client-Centred Therapy, also known as the person-centred approach, focuses on building an empathic, non-judgemental relationship in which the therapist listens closely and reflects understanding back to the client. This approach helps with issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief, and coping with major life changes by emphasising the client’s own resources and pace of change.

Timothy uses the person-centred way of working to support clients in exploring their feelings and goals without directing the outcome. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - he works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the style of sessions accordingly.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care when schedules or circumstances change. Licensed professionals, including therapists like Timothy, can use these formats to provide consistent, accessible support tailored to each client’s situation.
