Thomas "Tom" Relevitch, BACP

Thomas "Tom" Relevitch offers a straightforward, client-focused approach to therapy. He uses clear listening and gentle questioning to help people make sense of stress, anxiety and relationship strain. Tom is based in the United Kingdom and brings ten years of experience to his work. He welcomes conversations about LGBT concerns, life changes and coaching for direction and purpose.

Tom’s way of working centres on the person in front of him. He uses client-centred methods to hear what matters most to the individual. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. Those approaches combine with solution-focused techniques to set small, practical steps and track progress.

Sessions often begin by clarifying the immediate problem and what the person hopes to change. Tom helps people talk about difficult feelings like shame, guilt or loneliness. He also supports conversations about sexuality, kink and polyamory without judgement.

Tom has worked across a mix of settings during his ten years in practice. This experience informs how he balances exploring deeper issues with short-term goals. He usually has most availability between 12 noon and 5 pm GMT, Monday to Thursday.

People can expect plain language and a steady, respectful tone in sessions. Tom encourages small experiments and practical coping strategies between meetings. He recognises the first step can feel hard and aims to make the process easier to manage.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and reflecting what the person says. It helps people feel heard and clarify their own goals and values. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns and past experiences that affect present feelings and relationships, helping people understand why they repeat certain behaviours. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and practical steps to move forward quickly and measure progress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and recommend a blend of methods. This is a collaborative process that can shift as the person’s priorities change.

Online sessions can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for more in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a break at work or when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging lets people check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent contacts. These formats offer flexibility to match the pace and practical needs of each person seeking support.
