Thomas Smithson

I currently have availability for online Counselling and Psychotherapy Monday - Thursday 9.00 - 17.00.

Hello, my name is Tom and I can offer a supportive, kind, non-judgemental space to help you explore whatever it is you are going through. You might be feeling anxious, depressed or stressed, going through life changes, feeling stuck, struggling with relationships, self-worth, looking to explore yourself, your identify or even understand and change behaviours. Additionally, I specialise in working with the LGBTQIA+ community.

I have been working in private practice since October 2018 and am passionate about supporting people with their mental health and wellbeing. Our work together will be strictly confidential, giving you the confidence to know you can share what’s on your mind and that your thoughts will stay with me. The focus of the session is on you, and I am not here to make any judgements. My therapeutic approach isn’t about judgements or blaming, it’s about understanding and growth.

If you would like to find out more about me, how I work, and to get a feel for if I am the right therapist for you, please email or call me.

My experience

I Integrate several therapeutic theories and techniques to offer a bespoke service tailoring my approach to you and your needs. I have extensive Therapeutic experience having provided over 4500 clinical hours. I have a MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice, a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and teach Level 2 and 3 Counselling to trainees. I am also a qualified supervisor for other therapists. 

I have worked with a diverse range of clients over the past six years, gaining experience from working with three charities, St Christopher’s Hospice, METRO Charity and Place 2 Be, along with my private practice experience.

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, I also have a limited number of concession rates due to the cost of living crisis priced at £60.00 per session.

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.
