About Thomas

Thomas "Tom" Relevitch is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, LGBT concerns, and coping with life changes. Tom often works with issues such as guilt and shame, attachment and abandonment worries, and questions about life purpose.

Tom prefers straightforward conversations that help people put words to difficult feelings. Sessions focus on what matters now - how feelings show up, what keeps them going, and small changes that make daily life easier. He uses a mix of client-centred listening, psychodynamic reflection, and solution-focused steps in ways that suit each person.

In practical terms he talks through relationship problems like communication difficulties, infidelity and separation. He also supports people exploring non-traditional sexual cultures, including BDSM and kink, and those navigating polyamory or non-monogamous arrangements. Men's issues, midlife concerns, and multicultural questions are part of his practice too.

Tom aims to be direct but respectful in sessions, inviting people to name shame or guilt without blame. He helps people untangle where those feelings come from and what they ask for now - whether that is practical action, setting boundaries, or thinking differently about past events.

He offers appointments mainly between 12 noon and 5 pm GMT, Monday to Thursday. To begin, clients follow the site's matching steps and schedule a first session through the online booking process.

Therapeutic approaches used and online working

Client-Centred Therapy is about being listened to and having your experience taken seriously. It focuses on the person's own goals and helps them find their own understanding of painful feelings like shame or guilt.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns from past relationships and early experiences that keep repeating now. It can help make sense of recurring emotions such as abandonment fears, emptiness, or repeated relationship problems.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes and realistic steps people can try between sessions. It can be useful when someone wants clear actions to reduce stress or improve communication. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as priorities shift. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before you book, as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into weekdays, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid being on camera if you prefer. Many people find these practical benefits help them keep therapy part of everyday life.
