About Edward
Edward Thomas is a counsellor with six years' experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. He works with clients dealing with relationship strain, grief, family problems and life changes. Edward aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them and feel heard.
He follows a person-centred, humanistic-existential approach. That means he listens first and seeks to understand each person's world.
Background and approach
Sessions are led by the client, with Edward offering reflections, practical suggestions or gentle challenges when helpful. Edward trained in therapeutic counselling and holds a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy accreditation (BACP). He has worked in independent practice, in organisations and with the third sector.
He also runs training and tutoring for trainee counsellors and has experience coordinating counselling services at a local mental health charity. His practice includes work with people from LGBTQ+ communities and he aims to offer an affirming environment for diverse gender identities and sexual orientations.
He also has experience supporting people with issues such as abandonment, attachment, caregiving stress, body image and career concerns. Sessions can be delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Edward uses approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centred methods, existential ideas, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to tailor support to each person's needs.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Edward will discuss what matters to the client and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. Together they will review what helps and adjust the way they work as therapy progresses.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging - make it easier to fit counselling around daily life. Video is useful for a face-to-face feel, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in, and messaging lets someone reflect in writing between sessions. These options let people connect from different locations and use the format that best suits their routine and needs.
