Counselling with Tom

I’m a BACP Registered Counsellor based out of Bournemouth, Dorset. I am qualified to work with adults 18+ on an individual 1 to 1 basis and I offer local face to face counselling in Dorset, or online and telephone counselling to clients based anywhere within the UK. I will provide a therapeutic relationship that's authentic, understanding and non-judgmental, where we can process and explore your unique thoughts, feelings and experiences together.

I’m an Autism-Informed counsellor and have additional training in working therapeutically with neurodivergent clients, with Autism and ADHD being key areas of my continuous professional development and training. This means I have a good general understanding of neurodiversity differences and how this may impact the way someone might view, experience and interact with the world. I also have lived experience as an autistic person myself.

I work in a Neurodiversity-affirming way and can tailor my support to the unique challenges and difficulties that you might face, such as masking, heightened anxiety, sensory overload, meltdowns, shutdown and burnout. I can also support with a navigating a range of thoughts, feelings and emotions that might come up when considering if you might be neurodivergent, as well as during or after a diagnosis process. Whether this be feelings of imposter syndrome and coming to terms with a diagnosis, struggling with self-acceptance and self-compassion or reevaluating your entire life from a whole new perspective.
