About Thomas
BACP. Ten years' experience. Thomas "Tom" Relevitch is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship difficulties and coping with life changes. He also offers coaching-style support alongside counselling for people looking to make practical changes.
Tom uses client-centred, psychodynamic and solution-focused approaches. He aims to make sessions straightforward and direct, helping people talk through feelings and think about next steps. Sessions typically cover practical coping skills as well as exploring how past experiences affect present patterns.
His work includes a range of relationship-related topics such as communication problems, infidelity, divorce and separation, non-monogamous arrangements and issues around BDSM and kink. He also addresses personal concerns like abandonment, attachment, guilt and shame, emptiness and isolation.
Tom has worked professionally for a decade and draws on that practical experience when supporting people through midlife questions, men’s issues, multicultural concerns and finding life purpose. He describes the first session as an opportunity to clarify what someone wants to get from counselling and how they prefer to work.
Most of his availability falls between 12 noon and 5 pm GMT from Monday to Thursday. International clients are accepted and sessions are held in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his therapeutic approaches work for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and on listening without judgement. It helps when someone needs a space to talk through feelings and consider what they want to change. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how earlier relationships and patterns influence current behaviour and emotions; it can help when repeated relationship problems or persistent feelings such as emptiness or shame are present. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasises clear, practical steps and short-term goals and is useful for people who want to try concrete changes quickly.Finding the right approach is part of the counselling process. Tom discusses goals, preferences and what a person hopes to achieve in the first sessions and works with them to decide which approach or combination will be most helpful. This is a collaborative process, and plans can be adjusted as the work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when needed. Many people find remote sessions help them maintain regular appointments and access support across locations, but confirm the exact session types available when you sign up.
