Thomas Beardmore, BACP
Compassionate counsellor for life and relationship challenges
Book with ThomasAbout Thomas
Thomas Beardmore is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, LGBT concerns, anxiety, depression and self‑esteem struggles. They work with issues around intimacy, addiction, grief, trauma and changes in life. Thomas offers an empathetic, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and begin to make changes.
Thomas uses a humanistic approach that focuses on understanding each person’s experience rather than labelling what is wrong. Sessions aim to give time for reflection and honest conversation.
Background and approach
Insight is offered gently, and the therapist will sometimes challenge unhelpful patterns so new choices can be made. With 13 years of experience, Thomas has worked in health care, higher education, the third sector and independent practice. Their BACP credential means they are registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
This underpins a practice that emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion. Thomas draws on several therapeutic approaches to suit different needs. These include attachment-focused ideas, client-centred ways of working, and cognitive behavioural techniques when helpful.
The approach is adapted to each person rather than following a fixed script. People who come to Thomas might be dealing with parenting stress, career concerns, ADHD, body image or long-term health issues, among other matters. The therapist aims to tailor conversations and any agreed work to each person’s priorities and goals.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Thomas uses attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions; this can help with intimacy, abandonment and attachment issues. Client-centred work focuses on listening, empathy and following the person’s agenda so sessions centre on what matters most to the individual. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical changes that can reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Thomas will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and may change as therapy progresses.
The practical benefits of online therapy make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life.

Please confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally aim to make scheduling flexible so therapy can fit around work, family and other commitments.
