Thomas Smithson

I currently have availability for online Counselling and Psychotherapy Monday - Friday.

Hello, my name is Tom, and my aim is to offer you a supportive and kind space to experience change, healing and to help you explore whatever it is you are going through. Much of my work supports clients with depression, anxiety, relationships, identity, self-esteem, existential thoughts and the search for meaning. You might also be going through life changes, looking to explore yourself or understand, challenge & change behaviours. I work with all adults and specialise in working with queer communities & those who are neurodivergent. These will be your sessions, and I aim to help you work towards whatever goals you have.

I combine several therapeutic theories & techniques to offer you a unique service tailoring my approach to you, your needs & wants. I have extensive therapeutic experience, having worked in private practice for seven years and providing over 5500 clinical hours. I have a MA in Counselling & Psychotherapy Practice, a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, Diploma in Supervision and teach Counselling to trainees.

Our work together will be strictly confidential, my hope is that we will go on a journey of discovery together and no matter who you are, what you have experienced or what’s happening now I am here to listen and provide you with proactive therapeutic support.

Sessions are on a weekly basis, last 50 minutes and are online.

My therapeutic approach isn’t about judgements or blaming, it’s about understanding and growth. My work is based on meaning healing and connection. 

How does it work?

When you get in touch, we will have a conversation to find out what support you may be looking for and for you to get a feel for if I am the right therapist for you. We can then arrange an initial session / assessment.

There will be no obligation to continue with sessions after the initial assessment, it is important for you to decide if you feel comfortable and wish to work with me.

Sessions last 50 minutes and are on a weekly basis at the same time on the same day. I am currently unable to offer fortnightly sessions for new clients due to availability. Sessions are priced at £70.00.

The first session is a mix of an initial session with an assessment. In this session you will have the time to speak more about what’s going on for you and the reasons for seeking Therapy. You may also have some goals you wish to work towards that we can explore. There will be a few questions I will ask, and you will hopefully get a feel for how you find working with me.

We won’t dive in too deep to quickly as it is important for us to develop a therapeutic relationship to help you feel comfortable to explore things deeper.

Towards the end of the session, you can then decide if I'm the right Therapist for you and what you would like to do with sessions going forward. You may wish to work long term, open ended or to a set number of sessions.

Hello, my name is Tom, and I am a supervisor, therapist, tutor and writer. For me supervision is all about the relationship and offering you the kind of specific support you are looking for, this would involve tailoring my approach to you and your needs.​ I have qualifications in counselling, psychotherapy, clinical supervision, business administration and media production. All skills I aim to bring into my work as a supervisor.

Sessions will be held online via Zoom, the link for Zoom will be emailed to you along with a reminder the day before your supervision session.

Hello, my name is Tom and I am a supervisor, therapist, tutor and writer. You can find out more about me on my website or my business Instagram @newhcounselling.

The aim of Supervision with me:

I like to offer something different with supervision, something that offers a range of support related to my experience and knowledge.

The overall purpose of supervision is firstly to monitor and promote the welfare of your clients. However, I do not forget you in this, meaning we need to consider your needs as a therapist.

I recognise that many of my supervisees are running their own business, developing their private practice or looking to create or expand their practice. Therefore supervision with me adds elements of business and marketing support and an acknowledgement of the stress running a business can bring.

Personal development is also an important part of practice, so supervision with me holds a space where we can work on your growing edges.

I will aim to help you focus on the development of your professional identity and skills, encouraging an authentic you, an authentic practice. This might involve your work as a volunteer, in an organisation or within private practice. ​

Finally my work is shame free - I do not want my supervisees to fear what they bring to supervision. As therapists we all have sessions where we don't feel we were "good enough", brining these sessions to me enables us to work on making next time better.

What I ask of you:

Be open and contribute to the development of an effective working relationship.

Be prepared for supervision with a rough idea of what you want from each session.

Discuss client caseload, issues arising and prepare for supervision.

Be prepared to give and receive feedback.

Consult me or other forms of supervision in cases of an emergency.

Do not fear sharing your work. Even if you have not been "good enough", I want to hear it so we can work on ways to change and be better. 

What you can expect working with me:

The supervision I offer is based on a fortnightly basis, sessions last 50 minutes and priced at £70.00.

My work as a therapist works closely with the importance of intersectionality with a special focus on working with queer clients and neurodivergent clients. Therefore these are areas that I incorporate into supervision too.

I have worked in private practice since 2018 offering clients an integrative approach and providing over 5500 clinical hours. Much of my work supports clients with depression, anxiety, relationships, identity, self-esteem, parenting, adoption, existential thoughts and the search for meaning.

My clients might also be going through life changes, looking to explore themselves or understand, challenge & change behaviours.

I have worked with several well established Counselling agencies where I gained a wide range of experience. I have worked with Place 2 Be where I worked therapeutically with children ages 7 -10 in Croydon, St Christoper's Hospice working within their adult bereavement team, and METRO Charity, working with members of the LGBTQ+ community, asylum seekers and people living with or affected by HIV.

When you get in touch we can arrange an initial supervision appointment. In this first appointment we can get to know each other and get a feel for if we are a good fit, there will also be time for you to discuss your client work. Should you then feel I am the supervisor for you we can arrange ongoing monthly or fortnightly supervision.
