About Tom

Tom Broderick works with people on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and relationship issues using person-centred methods alongside other approaches he adapts to each person. He is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and he has three years' experience working with clients in the United Kingdom.

Tom believes clients hold knowledge about their own lives and aims to listen closely to what matters to each person. Sessions focus on what the client wants to talk about and on practical steps they find helpful. He uses clear, conversational language and keeps sessions straightforward and goal-focused when that suits the client.

He draws on client-centred work as his main model and can also bring in cognitive and solution-focused ideas where they help shift thoughts or behaviour. Motivational interviewing techniques can be used when people want help finding reasons to make changes. Psychodynamic ideas are available to look at patterns that repeat over time.

Tom has experience supporting people with LGBT issues, grief, trauma and compassion fatigue as well as neurodiverse presentations such as ADHD. He also works with career concerns, anger and coping with life changes. He aims to respect cultural differences and to adapt his way of working for individuals from varied backgrounds.

Sessions are designed to be practical and conversational. People who prefer a direct, down-to-earth counsellor who listens and then helps shape a plan for change will find this a suitable style. To begin, clients follow the service sign-up and matching steps and then arrange a first session.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Client-centred work focuses on listening and following what the client brings to the session; online sessions let that conversation happen in a simple, direct way and suit people who want to be heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change them, which can be reviewed and practised between online meetings. Solution-focused work concentrates on small, achievable steps and on what changes the client wants to make next, making it easy to set short goals in remote sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The counsellor will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the approach as the client’s needs and preferences become clear. This is a collaborative process aimed at finding what helps most in day-to-day life.

The practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and reducing travel time. Different session types and technical arrangements may be possible, but the biography does not list specific formats, so clients should confirm available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often find online sessions useful for regular check-ins, focused problem-solving, and supporting change between appointments.
