Thomas Fox FRSPH (Tom)

I'm a UK-trained counsellor with a focus on supporting individuals in senior, high-responsibility, and leadership roles.  My counselling approach is integrative, drawing on both psychodynamic and humanistic theories to help clients explore emotional patterns, personal challenges, and relational dynamics in a safe and confidential space.

I bring to my practice a deep understanding of high-stress environments, built on my own background in the Armed Forces and my work within corporate settings, including financial services and information technology.  This, combined with professional training and lived experience, enables me to support clients with issues such as stress, anxiety, identity, performance, and leadership strain. I have worked with both men and women navigating the demands of high-pressure roles, helping them find clarity, resilience, and a sense of balance.

Beyond the therapy room, I have played a key role in shaping national mental health initiatives.  I serve on the NHS Mental Health Expert Advisory Group for the Armed Forces and contribute to the King’s College London Armed Forces Mental Health Research Advisory Group.  I’m also a member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists’ Quality Network for Veterans’ Mental Health Services, promoting innovation and best practice across national health service providers.

As a long-standing advocate for mental health education, both in the UK and internationally, I have been invited to appear on Sky News several times to speak on the issues faced by those who operate in high stress environments.

As a counsellor, I adhere to the  BACP Ethical Framework for counselling and psychotherapy and am committed to ethical, reflective, and client-centred practice.
