About Thomas
Thomas Beardmore is a non-binary counsellor who helps people facing sleep and rest problems alongside issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and low self-esteem. Thomas works from a humanistic outlook that aims to understand each person’s experience without judgment. Sessions offer space to talk, reflect and begin practical steps towards better rest and everyday coping.
Thomas offers a warm and direct style. Empathy and positive regard are always present, and feedback is given honestly when it will help. The aim is to open up new ways of seeing difficult patterns so clients can make changes that feel right for them.
Over 13 years of practice have included roles in health care, higher education, the third sector, and private practice. Thomas is accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings experience working with LGBT and neurodiverse communities among other groups.
Sessions are tailored to each person. Thomas will help create a practical plan that matches individual preferences and current life demands. That might include managing stress, developing better sleep routines, or addressing emotional blocks that affect rest.
Thomas supports people dealing with trauma, grief, addiction, parenting strains, and work-related stress. He also works with people concerned about attachment, abandonment, body image, and complex relational patterns. The approach stays person-focused, aiming to build useful insights and doable steps forward.
How Thomas’ approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current rest and emotional safety. It can help people understand why sleep or intimacy issues recur and what relational needs are unmet.Client-Centred Therapy puts the client’s experience at the centre, offering empathy and acceptance while the person explores difficulties at their own pace. This approach can be useful for people struggling with low self-esteem, stress, or problems that affect sleep.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and suggests practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. For sleep this often means trying simple behavioural and thought-based strategies to improve routine and reduce nighttime worry.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Thomas will discuss different methods with clients and together they will decide which fits best based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape the plan for sessions and any at-home exercises.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy around busy days, having shorter check-ins when needed, and avoiding travel time.
