About Thomas
Thomas Beardmore is a BACP counsellor who offers a warm, human-centred approach to common life difficulties. He listens closely and aims to understand each person’s experience rather than labelling what is wrong. People come to him for issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and self-esteem struggles.
He also supports those facing grief, addictions, stress and parenting pressures. Thomas works in a way that allows people to bring whatever feels important to them.
Background and approach
He uses empathy and straightforward feedback to help people reflect on choices and feelings. Insight is offered gently but honestly, with the aim of helping people make changes they want to live by. His practice draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred principles to build trust and encourage open conversation.
He also uses cognitive behavioural tools to address unhelpful thinking and emotionally-focused work when relationships and connection are central. Thomas shapes sessions to fit each person’s priorities and pace. He has 13 years of professional experience across healthcare, higher education, the third sector and independent practice.
His BACP accreditation is noted as part of his professional standing in the UK. That background informs how he supports people through career shifts, trauma, bipolar mood management and complex life transitions. Thomas aims to treat everyone with respect and sensitivity.
He supports LGBT concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, ADHD, body image struggles and a broad range of relationship and intimacy topics. Practical steps and clearer perspectives are typical outcomes of working with him.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Thomas will discuss what matters most to the person and combine methods that fit their goals, needs and preferences. This means sessions can shift between reflective conversation and practical steps depending on the issue at hand.
Online formats offer real flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and build rapport, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or being on camera feels difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, written reflection or when immediate scheduling is needed. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments and to continue progress from wherever someone is located.
