About Thomas
Thomas Hurlock-Norton is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem and life changes. He also supports those dealing with grief, LGBT questions, motivation and confidence. Tom works from a respectful and compassionate stance and aims to tailor conversations to each person's needs.
Tom uses a person‑centred way of working that keeps the client's experience at the centre of sessions. He blends that with practical tools when useful, drawing on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and behaviours. He also brings existential thinking to conversations about meaning and life direction.
In practice he listens first and helps people set realistic goals. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on small steps that can make daily life more manageable. He will adapt the pace according to how someone responds and what they want to achieve.
Tom is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. He has three years' experience working with these concerns and aims to make the work straightforward and down to earth. He asks clients to choose a suitable, interruption‑free space for sessions and will not continue a meeting if someone arrives under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Before starting, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.
How these approaches shape online therapy
Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective. The counsellor reflects back what is said and helps people find their own solutions, which is useful for improving self‑esteem and coping with loss.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers simple techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours, which can help with anxiety, panic and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and agree a plan together. This is a collaborative process and the method can be adjusted as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around work and family life, and the ability to have appointments without travelling. Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are set by the service. Many people find online sessions a useful way to keep regular contact with a therapist while balancing everyday demands.
