Tom Squire

Hello, I'm Tom. Deciding to engage in counselling is a courageous thing to do, and choosing the right therapist can feel daunting. For me counselling is all about supporting people with the process of change. This is because change is a constant in our lives – coping with it, responding to it, making it - and sometimes that can feel hard. I have extensive experience in supporting people to cope with both the everyday challenges of life as well as more serious trauma and addictions. I have worked within both the criminal justice and charitable sectors, as well as the family courts.

I'm an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor, and my practice has always gravitated towards working with men. I tailor my way of working to meet your needs and preferences. This means that I draw upon my knowledge of different counselling approaches. For example, we might focus on more immediate 'live' issues within your life, or you might wish to reflect on past experiences and relationships and how they shape your life today. Alternatively, you might want a space of your own to talk freely, to be heard and validated, or you might welcome more of a dialogue.

I offer a free initial telephone call, followed by an introductory session at a reduced rate. Both are an opportunity for you to tell me a little more about your situation and for you to get a sense of what having counselling with me might be like. Then, if it feels right, we take it from there.
