About Thomas
Thomas Beardmore is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years of professional experience. He works with people who bring issues such as relationship and intimacy concerns, LGBT matters, anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, and problems with self‑esteem. He also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, sleep or eating difficulties, ADHD and other life changes.
He uses an open, humanistic approach that focuses on understanding the client's point of view. Conversations are plain and direct, with reflections offered gently and sometimes challengingly to open up new perspectives. The practical aim is to help people notice choices they might make differently and test those changes in daily life.
Thomas draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred work to look at feelings and attachment patterns. He also uses cognitive-behavioural and existential ideas where they fit the issue being discussed. The mix depends on what the person brings and what they want to achieve.
His background includes work in health care, higher education, the third sector and private practice. That range has informed how he talks about parenting stress, caregiver strain, workplace concerns and chronic illness. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
Sessions are arranged via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, with fees that vary by location. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment using the online options button.
How his approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with strong emotions and the patterns they create in relationships. It helps people name feelings that are hard to reach and look at how those feelings shape interaction and choices.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns influence current relationships and responses to stress. It is useful when someone wants to understand why they react strongly in close relationships or feel stuck in certain patterns.
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's own perspective at the centre of the work, with the counsellor reflecting and clarifying rather than instructing. It supports self‑directed change and can be helpful alongside other approaches.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The counsellor will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, needs and preferences. That decision is made together and can change as work progresses.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins when time is tight. It also allows people to continue work if they are living abroad; confirm regional arrangements when you book.
