Relationships are shaped by attachment styles, past experiences, and unconscious scripts. Using Attachment Theory, Transactional Analysis, Schema Therapy, and REBT, I help you break negative patterns, improve communication, and build healthier, more fulfilling connections.

Potential
Unlocking your potential requires deep self-awareness. Through Gestalt Coaching, Systemic Mapping, and transformational techniques, I help you overcome limitations, enhance creativity, and step into your most powerful, authentic self, achieving personal and professional growth.

Personality
Dynamics
Understanding your personality dynamics offers a clear roadmap for growth. Using Evolutionary Astrology and the Enneagram, I help you uncover core strengths, challenges, and motivations, allowing you to navigate life with greater self-awareness and authenticity.

Check out some of my testimonials
Not only did Tom making me feel safe and secure within our therapy sessions and has been really supportive when engaging with. Tom has also given me the tools to help manage things going forward – providing me some hope I didn’t have before. Honestly, I cant thank Tom enough and wanted to make sure he gets the recognition he deserves

I just wanted to thank you again for all your time, empathy and compassion over the last few months. You have been a light in what was a dark place for me. I thank you for all your patience and guidance through this process. I will not forget you or the impact you have had on me and how I will chose to live my life going forward.

Thomas saved my life. When I say the work I have done with him has made me a better person, I mean it. I am kinder to others and myself. I can actually see a future for myself, I can’t remember the last time I did. I will forever be grateful for the work that he has done for me.

I have discussed my CBT with my family and friends, and I cannot express enough how beneficial this has been to my life. I have recently highly recommended Tom to a work colleague. Tom was friendly, empathetic, professional, yet warm, structured and manageable way.

I would say I am functioning 100% better since 2023. I am no longer on antidepressant medications; I have had no further relapses that have required time off. I have a happy work-home life balance. I cannot thank or recommend Tom’s services enough.

Working with Tom for the last 4 months has been life changing. When I had my first session I was barely functioning, on sick leave and severely hurting and struggling. Tom was patient and we've done great work on each of the issues I struggled with. Under Tom's guidance I reached my goals of being more balanced, happy and relaxed.
