Hi, I’m Tom, and I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth. I understand how daunting it can be to reach out for help, especially when life feels overwhelming. My approach to therapy is about creating a safe, welcoming space where you can feel heard and understood—without judgment.
I work with individuals facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. I have a particular passion for supporting men’s mental health and recognizing the unique pressures and societal expectations that men often face. My goal is to help you navigate these challenges, offering both empathy and active engagement in your therapeutic journey.
My Approach
While I am trained as an integrative therapist and draw from various therapeutic modalities, including person-centred, cognitive-behavioural, and psychodynamic therapies, my practice is highly solution-focused. I incorporate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and take a more directive approach in our sessions. This means I work actively with you to identify your goals and the concrete steps we can take to achieve them. My goal is to help you find practical solutions that empower you to move forward and create positive change in your life.
What You Can Expect
In our sessions, we will work together to uncover your strengths, develop new coping strategies, and move towards a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling. I believe therapy is not just about talking—it's about taking action to create positive change in your life. Whether you’re dealing with long-standing issues or recent struggles, I’m here to help you navigate through them. I believe in the inherent worth and potential of every individual and am dedicated to guiding you towards greater self-awareness, resilience, and well-being. My approach is collaborative but directive, ensuring that we stay focused on your goals and the actionable steps needed to reach them.

Men’s Mental Health

Our Therapeutic Relationship
Building a trusting and collaborative relationship is at the heart of my practice. While I am here to listen and support, I will also gently challenge you to push beyond your comfort zone. Together, we will work towards a more fulfilling, balanced, and meaningful life, focusing on actionable steps to help you achieve your goals.
Professional Commitment
I am committed to ongoing professional development and adhere to the ethical standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). Your mental health and well-being are my top priorities, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

I’ve been chatting to Tomasz for the last few weeks and really love his approach. He responds really quickly to messages which has been amazing for me. I’m excited to continue my therapy journey with him.

Thank you Tom, for listening to my concerns and helping me through everything that is going on in my life. I only had two therapy sessions so far, but they have helped me to reflect on the past and what I want from my future.
Tom is also really good to read through any of my journal entries and I feel supported and heard there as well.

I've been working with Tom for last two months and it has been really insightful experience. He carefully listens to me and knows exactly what's going on in my head. I am looking forward to any session because I always get out lighter and more positive.

Tom appears to understand me better than I do. For me that means that he has knowledge and experience and I am confident that he is able to help me.
He shows compassion while remaining professional which (for me) also means that he is well aware of what is happening to me and respectively comes to show his preparedness - knowledge and experience.
I can feel his passion to help me by asking the right questions. And during our sessions I can feel him there with me - listening to what I am saying and making the effort to un me. I feel the session like an active conversation and not just me pouring my thoughts out.

Tom is exceptional. I have been in the washing machine of therapy for over two decades. But with his constant support, availability and guidance, I believe I will make it.
