Thomas Hurlock-Norton, BACP, NCPS

Thomas Hurlock-Norton helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief and issues around self-esteem. He also supports those coping with life changes and people navigating LGBT and sexuality concerns. Thomas offers straightforward, respectful conversations to help people find clearer footing during hard times.

He works in a warm, person-focused way. Sessions are shaped around what the individual needs rather than a fixed script. Thomas uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen and follow the person’s pace and priorities.

He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect mood. That approach is practical and often used for anxiety, panic and mood problems. Existential Therapy is another strand he uses to help people think about meaning, values and life direction.

Thomas has three years of counselling experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. He practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. He does not take on clients who are already in counselling elsewhere.

Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. The subscription model applies and can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and arranges sessions through the Start Therapy process.

Thomas aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space. He focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions and on helping them make choices that suit their life and values.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Thomas uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person's own perspective. This way of working focuses on active listening and following what matters most to the individual, often helping with self-esteem and relationship concerns.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers practical strategies for anxiety, panic, mood problems and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and then try methods that suit their situation. They adjust the style over time so the work stays relevant and useful.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers not to be on camera.

These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and other commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to deliver focused, ongoing support and practical tools that people can apply between sessions.
