About Tom
BACP (MBACP). 3 years' experience. Tom Broderick works with people on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and LGBTQ+ matters using client-centred methods and other approaches he adapts to each person.
Tom describes himself as an integrative counsellor who uses person-centred theory as his main model. He draws on other approaches such as cognitive behavioural ideas, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic concepts and solution-focused techniques when they fit the client’s needs. He aims to get to know each person and to work in an interactive way.
Sessions focus on the issues you bring. That might mean talking through symptoms of anxiety or depression, looking at relationship patterns, or discussing career stress and coping with life changes. Tom also lists trauma and abuse, grief, anger, ADHD, bipolar, compassion fatigue and coaching among his areas of work.
He works with people from varied cultural backgrounds and notes an interest in LGBTQ+ concerns. The emphasis is on listening and following the client’s lead while offering practical ways to think about problems and make small changes.
Tom asks people to take the practical step of completing the matching questionnaire to arrange a first session. He uses a subscription model for sessions which can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.
How his approaches are used in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and accepting the client’s perspective. The counsellor follows what the person brings and helps them find their own way of understanding problems, which can suit issues like low self-esteem and relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers clear techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with stress.
Motivational Interviewing helps people work through mixed feelings about change, for example when facing career shifts or making lifestyle adjustments. It uses focused questions to build motivation and commitment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tom will discuss different methods and decide together which mix fits the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs shift.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. The practical advantages are that counselling can fit more easily into a weekday, travel is reduced, and shorter check-ins can be arranged when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these options to make it simpler to schedule regular work alongside everyday life.
