Thomas "Tom" Relevitch

Thomas "Tom" Relevitch uses a person-centred approach to help people through stressful life transitions. He is a BACP counsellor with ten years of professional experience. Tom aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk.

Tom works with people facing anxiety, stress and relationship strain. He also supports those dealing with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, and the fallout of separation or divorce. He has experience with LGBTQ matters, alternative sexual cultures including BDSM and kink, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.

In sessions Tom encourages people to say what matters to them and to set achievable goals. He draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat in relationships. He also uses solution-focused techniques to help people identify practical steps for change.

Tom usually offers appointments in the afternoon, with most availability between 12 noon and 5 pm GMT from Monday to Thursday. He accepts people from the United Kingdom and international clients who can work in English.

People who choose Tom can expect a grounded, approachable counsellor who listens and helps them find a clearer way forward. He recognises that starting therapy can feel daunting and aims to make the process straightforward and respectful.

Therapeutic approaches that suit remote work

Tom draws on client-centred therapy which focuses on listening and helping people make choices that feel right for them. This approach suits people who want a therapist who follows their lead and helps them clarify what matters. Psychodynamic therapy is used to look at recurring patterns in relationships and how past experiences can shape present behaviour; it can help with issues such as attachment, abandonment and repeating relationship difficulties. Solution-focused therapy is practical and goal-oriented, helping people identify small steps they can take to feel better and manage change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tom will discuss the different styles with each person and together they will decide which combination fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. The plan can be reviewed as therapy progresses to reflect what is working.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people join from different locations if they are outside the United Kingdom, provided they can work in English. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these methods to remote sessions to focus on clear goals, relationship patterns and supportive listening.
