About
Brian Thompson is a BACP-credentialed therapist with 5 years of experience supporting people through bereavement, complex grief, and the aftermath of suicide loss, as well as concerns like abusive relationships, loneliness and disconnection, past trauma, low self-worth, depression, and anxiety.
His approach is grounded in the belief that each person is more than the difficulties they are facing. Rather than using a fixed or formulaic method, he aims to meet each client as an individual, honoring the unique perspective they bring and treating whatever arises in sessions with care and attention. He focuses on creating a space where clients feel fully heard, so that over time, the development of trust can support clearer understanding and a sense of direction.
Brian places strong value on the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for change, helping people build their own insight into their experiences and how those experiences have shaped them. He also sees the process as collaborative, regularly checking in to understand what a client wants and needs from therapy. These expectations and preferences are something he is open to exploring together from the first appointment.

Brian Thompson draws on Client-Centered Therapy, an approach that focuses on understanding each person as a whole, valuable individual rather than a set of symptoms. Sessions center on attentive listening, respect, and empathy, which can be especially helpful when someone is navigating grief, low self-worth, anxiety, or the impact of difficult relationships.Client-Centered Therapy also emphasizes the healing potential of the therapeutic relationship itself. Over time, being fully heard can help clients make sense of their experiences, identify what matters most, and find their own way forward at a pace that feels manageable.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and it can take a little time to discover what feels most helpful. Brian regularly checks in with clients about what they want and need from therapy, keeping the work collaborative and responsive to changing goals and preferences.
Online therapy can make it easier to access support in a way that fits day-to-day life.
