Thomas Hurlock-Norton, BACP, NCPS
Experienced counsellor for stress and LGBT issues
Book with ThomasAbout Thomas
Thomas Hurlock-Norton is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and changes in life. He also offers support around LGBT concerns and issues with sexuality. He writes in a direct, respectful way and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.
Tom uses a person-centred style that keeps the conversation focused on the client's needs. He adapts sessions to each person and combines approaches when useful.
Background and approach
That means practical problem-solving alongside space to talk about values and meaning. He draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. He also uses existential ideas to look at life choices, purpose and personal responsibility.
The client-centred element places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. Tom has three years of experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. He works from the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English.
He asks clients not to be under the influence during sessions and will not continue if a session is disrupted by intoxication. Before beginning, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
Sessions are intended to take place in a space where interruptions are unlikely, and the therapist does not work with someone who is already receiving counselling or psychotherapy elsewhere.

How these approaches guide online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the counsellor. It helps when someone needs understanding, acceptance and space to talk about what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical steps to reduce anxiety, panic or low mood. Existential Therapy encourages people to reflect on meaning, life choices and responsibility when they feel stuck or unsure about purpose.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then tailor the approach collaboratively. This means trying different ways of working and adjusting as progress is reviewed together.
The biography does not specify which online formats are used, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose quieter or less visually demanding ways to connect, depending on what suits them best.
