Tom Broderick is a counsellor who centres his work on the person in front of him. He draws on three years of practice and a warm, interactive style to help people talk through what matters to them.

He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and works online with people in the United Kingdom and beyond. Tom sees people as experts in their own lives and focuses on their strengths.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be straightforward and supportive. He creates space to discuss stress, anxiety, low mood, self-esteem and other concerns without jargon. His core way of working follows Person-Centred ideas, which means he listens closely and follows what the client brings.

He also uses techniques from cognitive behavioural and solution-focused work when those tools suit the goal. Tom has experience with LGBT issues, relationship and family concerns, trauma and bereavement, ADHD and bipolar-related challenges. He also helps people facing career pressures, compassion fatigue and major life changes.

He adapts the approach to individual needs rather than applying a single method. New clients can expect a calm, practical tone and a focus on clear steps forward. Tom encourages small, manageable goals and checks in on progress.

He aims to help people build coping skills while making room for the feelings behind those difficulties.

How Tom’s approaches work online

Tom regularly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in online work. Client-Centred Therapy involves attentive listening and following the client’s pace to help them find their own solutions; it suits people who want a non-directive, empathetic space. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical steps and small experiments, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tom will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and make collaborative decisions about which methods to try. Plans are reviewed as work progresses and techniques are adjusted if something isn’t helping.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and recreate a face-to-face feel. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, written reflection and people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and travel, while keeping the focus on consistent progress and therapeutic contact.
