About Thomas

Thomas Beardmore is a counsellor who helps people address money and financial issues alongside a wide range of emotional concerns. He works with clients on anxiety, stress, depression, relationship and intimacy problems, self-esteem, addictions, grief, and coping with life changes. Thomas uses a respectful, non-judgemental style that aims to make conversations feel straightforward and useful.

He describes his approach as humanistic and client-centred. That means he listens to what life feels like for each person, offers empathy, and helps people reflect on their choices. Thomas aims to offer gentle insight and honest feedback so clients can consider different perspectives and move towards change.

Thomas brings 13 years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. He has worked in healthcare, higher education, the third sector, and private practice, which shapes a practical understanding of varied life situations.

His practice pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns, and he also uses cognitive approaches to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts. He supports people dealing with ADHD, trauma, eating and sleeping difficulties, compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, chronic health issues, and issues around kink and alternative sexual cultures.

Thomas intends to tailor sessions to each person’s needs and goals. He encourages honesty about feelings so life choices feel more manageable and effective. If someone wants a counsellor who combines warmth with clear reflection, Thomas aims to be that companion on the journey.

How his approaches work in online counselling

Thomas uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches alongside Cognitive Behavioural techniques to help people work through emotional and practical problems. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect how people relate now and can help with intimacy and communication issues. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so people can understand their own feelings and make choices that fit them better. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts and behaviours, offering simple ways to test and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Thomas will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs, and preferences. He sees this as a collaborative process and adapts the work as progress and priorities become clearer.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent travelling. It can also make sessions possible for people living abroad, since he accepts international clients. Discuss format and scheduling during the initial matching and booking steps to find what fits your routine.
