Why Counselling?

We all face challenges - whether it’s stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or just the feeling of being “stuck.” Counselling is not about judgment or quick fixes. It’s about creating space to talk openly, work through what’s weighing on you, and find healthier ways to cope and grow.

What We Can Work On

Counselling can help with a wide range of issues, including:

Anxiety, stress, and panic
Depression and low mood
Relationship struggles and communication difficulties
Confidence and self-esteem
Coping with loss, change, or life transitions
Unwanted habits and negative thought patterns

(And more - every person’s journey is unique, and sessions are always tailored to your needs.)

Client Feedback

“It took me a long time to finally realise I needed to speak to a therapist — and I’m so thankful I found Tom. Our sessions were so helpful, and I can really see how counselling has impacted my day-to-day life. I felt safe immediately with Tom. He took the time to go at my pace, and even when I felt I was rambling, he never made me feel that anything I said was irrelevant. He helped me organise my thoughts and understand the changes I was making in my life. I truly believe therapy saved my life.”

— Z.P, Counselling Client

"Tom is extremely professional and easy to talk to. He is very accepting of all walks of life and really knows his stuff. I have enjoyed our conversations and debates and have felt myself grow more confident over time with his help, his listening and understanding. I highly recommended Tom to anyone suffering from excessive anxiety, stress or low self confidence."

— Tim B, Counselling Client

"I first came to Tom for grief counselling in early March, and over the past six months of sessions, we adapted and have worked together to help me reach a much happier and more stable state of mind for both my grief and my life as a whole. He is incredibly accommodating, understanding and easy to get along with! I cannot recommend his services highly enough."

— G. Melville, Counselling Client

You don’t have to face this alone.

FAQ's

Is counselling confidential?

Yes. What you share in counselling is treated as confidential and handled in line with professional and legal requirements. The main exceptions are situations involving serious risk of harm, safeguarding concerns or where disclosure is required by law. I will explain confidentiality and its limits clearly before we begin.

What happens during the first counselling session?

The first session gives us time to understand what has brought you to counselling, what you would like to change and what you hope to gain from the work. We will also discuss how I work, confidentiality and any questions you have. There is no pressure to disclose everything at once.

How often will I need counselling sessions?

This depends on what you need and what is practical for you. Many clients begin with weekly or fortnightly 60-minute sessions so that the work has continuity. We can review the frequency together as counselling progresses rather than committing you to an open-ended arrangement.

Do you offer counselling online?

Yes. Counselling is available online by Zoom as well as face to face at my practice in Witney. Online sessions offer the same private, focused time and can be useful if travel, location or work commitments make attending in person difficult.
