About Thomas
Thomas "Tom" Relevitch is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with over 10 years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship difficulties and coping with life changes, including issues around life purpose.
Tom uses straightforward conversation to help people name what feels stuck. He focuses on listening and reflecting back what clients notice about their thoughts and feelings. Sessions aim to clarify immediate problems and identify small, practical steps people can try between meetings.
In his work Tom draws on client-centred ways of relating, psychodynamic ideas about past patterns, and solution-focused tools that look for change now. That mix helps people who want to understand underlying patterns as well as those who want concrete strategies for the next day or week.
Tom also addresses specific concerns such as attachment and abandonment, communication problems, divorce and separation, and issues linked to kink and alternative sexual cultures. He supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, midlife questions and multicultural challenges.
International clients may be supported in English. People who value a direct, practical style often find his approach useful. To begin, clients use the site matching steps to book an initial session and see how the approach fits their current needs.
How Tom uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Tom commonly draws on client-centred work, psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused techniques when meeting people online. Client-centred work means listening closely and reflecting back what a person says so they can notice their own thinking and feelings; this helps when someone needs space to make sense of recent changes. Psychodynamic thinking looks at recurring patterns that may come from earlier relationships and how those patterns show up now, which can help when issues keep repeating. Solution-focused work concentrates on concrete, short-term goals and small steps that can change daily life quickly.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. Tom will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is discussed openly and adjusted as sessions progress so the approach matches what the client wants to work on.
The practical benefits of online work include being able to fit sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time. If you want to use online sessions, please confirm the available session formats through the booking steps before you schedule. Many people find that shorter check-ins, meetings outside commute times, or regular weekly sessions are easier to sustain when held remotely, making it simpler to keep therapy part of everyday life.
