About Tom
Tom Broderick is a counsellor who focuses on helping people find their strengths and move past what is holding them back. He works in a warm, interactive way and aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what matters to them.
Tom holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration, and he practises from the United Kingdom. Tom uses a person-centred approach at his core.
Background and approach
That means he listens without judging and follows the pace each person prefers. He also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques when someone wants practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. He can also use motivational interviewing to help people find internal reasons to make changes, and solution-focused methods to set short-term goals and notice small wins.
These ways of working are chosen to suit each person rather than applied the same for everyone. Tom has three years of professional experience working with a range of concerns. He supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, anger, and issues linked to bipolar or ADHD.
He also helps people dealing with relationship strain, family pressures, career questions, compassion fatigue and life transitions. Sessions can be adapted to cultural background and personal preference. Tom aims to treat each person as an individual and to work collaboratively on clear, realistic steps.
He encourages people to take the first step and to set the pace that feels right for them.

How Tom’s Approaches Work Online
Tom’s core person-centred approach focuses on following the person’s lead and offering empathic listening. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings, build self-worth, or work through identity and relationship concerns.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try out small behavioural changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression and stress because it gives clear steps to test and adjust patterns that cause distress.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about change. It uses guided conversations to uncover personal reasons for change and to strengthen motivation for steps the person wants to take.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they choose and adjust techniques so sessions fit the person’s needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work with lower bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging helps people reflect in writing. These options aim to make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
