Kevin Thomas, BACP

Kevin Thomas is a counsellor with nine years’ experience based in the United Kingdom. He describes therapy as a space for exploring thoughts and feelings without judgment. He aims to build a straightforward, respectful relationship where the client’s perspective leads the work.

Kevin draws on Client-Centred Therapy, putting the client at the centre of sessions. He believes people know their own lives best and that therapy helps them notice what matters and make clearer choices. He does not set out to give advice; instead he helps people think things through for themselves.

His practice covers a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, and coping with life changes. He also addresses issues such as anger, self-esteem, career questions and ADHD-related challenges. Additional interests include attachment and abandonment, body image, guilt and shame, and panic attacks.

Kevin says he will suggest alternative services if they seem more helpful than counselling. He values honesty about what therapy can and cannot do. Sessions are offered in English and he works with international clients when that fits the practical arrangements.

Practical arrangements use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can choose what suits their situation best. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Kevin's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping the client lead the conversation. Online sessions allow the same attentive listening and reflective work, helping people make sense of feelings and decide what they want to change.

Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. In remote sessions this approach can help when someone is facing life transitions, questions about purpose, or feelings of isolation by creating space to consider values and options.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That plan can change as the relationship develops and different issues arise.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or when writing helps people reflect. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caring duties and everyday life.
