About Tom
Tom Broderick is a UK counsellor who emphasises a warm, collaborative approach. He believes people know their own story and have strengths to build on. He creates a calm space for conversation and aims to be approachable and down to earth.
Tom works mainly from a person-centred viewpoint, which means he listens closely and follows what matters to the client. He also draws on other methods, adapting techniques to what each person wants and needs.
Background and approach
This flexibility means sessions can focus on practical steps or deeper reflection, depending on the situation. People come to Tom for many reasons, including stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and relationship concerns. He also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and issues related to LGBT identity.
He has experience with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, career pressures and compassion fatigue. Tom is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. He has three years of professional experience and works with people from a variety of cultures and backgrounds.
He aims to treat each person as an individual rather than using the same plan for everyone. To begin, he invites prospective clients to take a first step and complete the site matching process. That helps him understand needs and arrange sessions that fit practical timetables.
He keeps language simple and focuses on helping people feel understood while working toward clearer next steps.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. A counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said and follows what the client finds most important; this can help when someone needs time to make sense of feelings or decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and looks for practical changes that reduce stress and build coping skills; it often works well for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns. Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping someone find their own reasons to change and strengthens commitment to practical goals, which can help with things like career shifts or managing health-related habits.Finding the right approach is often part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about aims, preferences and how they like to work, and then suggest routes to try together. That collaborative planning means methods can be adjusted as therapy progresses to suit what actually helps.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins between commitments. It also lets people connect from different locations, which is useful when working across regions or with international clients.
