Thomas "Tom" Relevitch, BACP

Thomas "Tom" Relevitch is a UK-based therapist with more than ten years of professional experience and membership of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He works with people facing stress and anxiety, LGBTQ+ related concerns, relationship difficulties, and the challenges that come with coping with life changes, offering a steady, respectful presence to help make sense of difficult emotions and situations.

Tom aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed without fear. He recognises that taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting and values the courage involved in reaching out for support. He is mindful of practical constraints and makes a large portion of his availability between 12 noon and 5 pm GMT, Monday to Thursday, to accommodate working schedules and daytime commitments.

People who choose to work with Thomas can expect collaborative attention to their concerns, thoughtful listening, and an emphasis on exploring options for coping and change. His approach balances empathy with practical focus, helping clients to identify what matters most and to take steps toward clearer thinking and calmer day-to-day living.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Thomas "Tom" Relevitch draws on client-centered therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and solution-focused techniques to guide his online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on providing a warm, accepting environment where the client leads the pace and direction of work - it is helpful for building self-awareness, processing difficult emotions, and strengthening self-trust. Psychodynamic therapy explores patterns that arise from past relationships and experiences to make sense of current feelings and repetitive difficulties, which can be useful for attachment, abandonment, and relationship concerns. Solution-focused therapy is short-term and practical, emphasising small, achievable steps and the client’s existing strengths to address specific problems and goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Thomas works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. As a registered professional, he adapts methods and pace to suit each person rather than offering a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for people juggling work, family, or different time zones. These formats make it easier to access regular support from a therapist without needing to travel, and they allow Thomas to offer continuity of care for clients who need adaptable scheduling.
