Counselling with Tom
Bristol
Bristol
Hello! I'm Tom, I'm really glad that you found my page. I'm a warm and kind counsellor working in Clifton in Bristol and online. I am a queer, neurodivergent man and bring the experience of these parts of myself to my counselling work. I think it's important to be myself when I work with people; my hope it that over time, you will feel comfortable to be yourself with me too.
Most importantly, I believe that therapy should be a joint process where you and I are equal partners in our work together to meet your specific needs. I understand this as you being the expert of your experience; I can offer a space for exploration, notice things that you might not and offer new ways to investigate and experiment with your understanding of yourself and life experiences. At the heart of this work is our relationship; this takes time and trust. It is my job to help you feel safe enough to be open about your thoughts and experiences.
I welcome people from all backgrounds and identities; some of these identities might intersect to compound the impact of difficult life experiences. This is something that we can explore together in our sessions.Â
I often work with people from the LGBTQIA+ community and those who are neurodivergent (whether through self-identification or diagnosis). I bring ongoing learning and my own lived-experience of belonging to these groups to my work with clients.
I also work with people who are experiencing feelings of distress relating to the climate crisis. This was the topic of my Master's research and a subject that I have thought about and explored deeply, confronting my own feelings so that I am in a position to support others.
