About Thomas
Thomas Beardmore is a BACP-accredited counsellor who helps people with anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and a wide range of life stresses. They also work with concerns such as addiction, grief, self-esteem, parenting strain, ADHD, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Thomas offers a calm, open approach and meets people where they are without judgement.
They describe their practice as humanistic, which means listening for what life feels like from a client's point of view rather than telling them what is wrong.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to create space for reflection and clearer choices. Thomas uses empathy and honesty in conversations and will sometimes offer observations that stretch a person’s perspective. Somatic ideas are woven into the work when bodily experience seems important, helping people notice how feelings show up in the body.
Attachment-based thinking and client-centred methods guide how Thomas builds trust and keeps the therapy focused on each person’s needs. Cognitive behavioural and emotionally-focused tools are used where practical steps or relational patterns are helpful. Thomas has 13 years of professional experience across health care, higher education, third sector organisations and independent practice.
The BACP credential is noted as part of their background. They are non-binary and work with LGBT concerns and other issues without assuming what a person needs. People who come to Thomas can expect a tailored plan that reflects their goals.
The tone is supportive and direct, aimed at helping people find fresh ways to live that feel more authentic and manageable.
How Thomas's approaches work in online therapy
Thomas blends somatic, attachment-based and client-centred ways of working to address emotional and relational concerns. Somatic work helps people notice bodily sensations linked to stress or trauma and use awareness to reduce tension and react differently. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early caring relationships shape expectations in close relationships, helping people change patterns that cause pain. Client-centred work focuses on listening, acceptance and building a trusting space so clients can explore what matters to them.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Thomas treats finding a fit as a team effort and will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. They adapt methods over time so the way sessions proceed matches what the person needs in practice.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions can suit those who prefer voice only. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who want brief check-ins or time to write thoughts out. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family and travel commitments, so people can use methods like somatic noticing or attachment-focused dialogue in ways that fit their life.
