Thomas Roberson, BACP

Thomas Roberson is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addiction, family and relationship difficulties, grief and trauma. He works in a straightforward, person-centred way that avoids judgement and lecturing, aiming to help people untangle what they are carrying so they can feel more steady, grounded and in control.

Drawing on roles across schools, the NHS, addiction services and private practice, he has supported people through a wide range of struggles and believes most people need a space to breathe and speak honestly rather than instructions. He sees each person as the expert on their own life and listens to help them hear themselves more clearly.

Thomas also lives with ADHD, so he understands experiences such as rapid thoughts, overthinking, emotional intensity and overwhelm from the inside and does not expect clients to mask those parts of themselves. Outside the therapy room he is a surfing instructor and a father to two daughters - experiences that reinforce his view that conditions change and people can adapt. He offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, accepts international clients and holds BACP, indicating registration with a professional counselling and psychotherapy body.

Attachment, Trauma and Client-Centred Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds and relationship patterns shape current connections and expectations - it is helpful for attachment issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care challenges and intimacy-related concerns. Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the centre of the process, with the therapist listening deeply and following the client’s pace to support self-understanding, coping with life changes and building self-esteem. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers focused ways to work with the effects of traumatic experiences, including abuse, grief, domestic violence and disasters, aiming to reduce the ongoing impact of those events on emotions and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Thomas works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods suit their needs, goals and personal preferences, adapting his style as trust and clarity develop. Registered professionals bring different tools and he will help determine the best path forward alongside the client.

Online therapy by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit regular support around work, family and life commitments. These options increase flexibility and accessibility, allowing people who live far away, travel frequently or prefer text-based formats to maintain consistent contact while still working with attachment-informed, client-centred and trauma-focused approaches.
