About Thomas
Thomas "Tom" Relevitch is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. He works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship problems and life changes. Tom presents his practice in straightforward terms and focuses on practical conversations about what is happening now.
Tom uses a mix of Client-Centred, Psychodynamic and Solution-Focused approaches. He listens for recurring patterns in relationships and day-to-day stresses. He helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small changes to how they relate to others.
Sessions often begin with simple aims agreed together. Tom checks what is most pressing, then balances talking about past influences with practical steps to try between sessions. This can help with issues such as loneliness, communication problems, guilt, shame and questions about sexual expression and relationships.
He also works with people facing separation, infidelity, midlife shifts and identity questions within multicultural and LGBT contexts. Tom is used to talking about non-traditional relationship styles, including polyamory and kink, without judgement. He frames these topics as part of everyday relationship work.
Tom asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before the first appointment and to schedule a first session. He notes that many of his sessions fall between 12 noon and 5 pm GMT from Monday to Thursday. International clients may be supported; confirm current session options when booking.
How Tom uses different approaches in online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says to help them find their own solutions. It is useful for people who want a calm conversational space to talk about anxiety, relationships and identity issues. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns from past relationships and how they show up now; it can help with long-standing feelings like abandonment, shame or emptiness. Solution-Focused Therapy centres on small, practical steps and clear goals people can try between sessions to change specific behaviours.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tom works collaboratively to decide which mix of listening, reflection and practical steps fits best. He checks in about goals and adjusts the focus as needs and circumstances change.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or remove the need to travel to an appointment. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people manage anxiety and relationship work in day-to-day life.
