Thomas Beardmore is a humanistic counsellor who focuses on understanding what it is like “to walk in your shoes” rather than telling someone what is “wrong” with them. He is open to anything and everything a client wishes to bring to counselling and offers empathy and positivity in a genuine way to create time and space for reflection on life and personal experience.
Insight from Thomas is offered gently yet with professional integrity, and may sometimes be challenging when that supports change. He sees a central purpose of therapy as helping people generate alternative perspectives on who they are and how they live, with the aim of supporting the changes they want to make.
A core principle in his practice is that being honest about and accepting feelings and experiences helps the choices people make in life become more real and effective. He is accredited with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) in the UK and has 11 years of professional experience.
Thomas has worked in health care, higher education, third sector organisations and private practice. He has experience supporting people with LGBTQ+ related issues, relationship and intimacy concerns, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and with depression. He describes himself as non-religious and liberal, and treats everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion.
He tailors dialogue and treatment plans to meet each person’s unique needs. Thomas recognises the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and is available to support and empower clients through that journey.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can genuinely help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
A major benefit of remote sessions is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video call, phone, live chat or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of support.
Each therapist offering online sessions is a licensed professional, and clients may choose to switch to a different therapist at any time if they feel another fit would work better. For many people, online therapy provides an accessible, effective option for addressing everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
