About Tom
Tom Broderick is a BACP counsellor who works from a person-centred outlook. He starts by getting to know each person and builds on their strengths. He aims to create a warm, interactive space where people can talk about what matters to them.
He uses person-centred practice as his main model and draws on other approaches as needed. That means sessions often focus on what the client wants to explore, and the therapist adapts techniques to suit those goals. Motivational Interviewing is one approach he may bring in to help with change and decision-making.
Tom has three years of experience helping people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. He also works with issues including ADHD, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and LGBT concerns. He says he values cultural differences and treats each person as an individual.
In sessions he keeps the tone straightforward and supportive. Conversations typically look at what is happening now, what the person wants to change, and practical steps to move forward. He aims to balance listening with gentle guidance when it is helpful.
Tom is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. He works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. If you are considering therapy, he invites you to take the first step and start the matching process on the site.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Tom uses person-centred practice which focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. Sessions emphasise listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions, useful for worries like low self-esteem or relationship strain.
He may also use Motivational Interviewing to support people who are thinking about change. This approach helps clarify goals, explore ambivalence and build motivation in a non-judgemental way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, looks at practical links between thoughts, feelings and actions and can help with anxiety or low mood by trying small behavioural changes.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adapt the approach based on the client's needs, goals and preferences so the plan fits the person rather than the other way round.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please check which online options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often work this way to keep therapy practical and accessible. -
