Private Counselling in London

Life can be demanding, particularly when you're accustomed to managing responsibilities, meeting expectations and appearing in control.

Yet professional success and personal confidence don't necessarily protect us from anxiety, relationship difficulties, emotional exhaustion or a sense that something isn't quite right.

I'm Thomas Fox, an accredited counsellor offering confidential, independent counselling to individuals across London.

I provide a calm, thoughtful space where you can speak openly, explore difficulties and develop a deeper understanding of yourself, without judgement or expectation.

People come to counselling for many reasons, including:

• Anxiety, stress and burnout
• Relationship and family difficulties
• Loss, separation and significant life changes
• Low self-esteem and persistent self-criticism
• Leadership pressures and professional challenges
• Feeling disconnected, unfulfilled or emotionally overwhelmed

You don't need to know exactly what's wrong or have a particular problem in mind. Sometimes simply wanting to understand yourself better is reason enough.

My approach integrates psychodynamic and humanistic counselling, exploring both present difficulties and the deeper emotional patterns that may influence our lives.

I bring professional experience from corporate, high-pressure and security-sensitive environments, alongside my clinical training.

I'm calm, approachable and inquisitive. I listen carefully, but I'm also comfortable asking questions and gently challenging assumptions where that may be helpful.

The relationship we develop is central to the work.

I offer flexible appointments to accommodate professional and personal commitments.

Online: Confidential counselling from a suitable private space, wherever you are in the UK.

In person: Appointments at an agreed private location, including your home or office where appropriate, subject to availability.

Sessions ordinarily last 50 minutes, with fees starting at £100. Any additional arrangements for travel are discussed in advance.

Choosing a counsellor is a personal decision. Feeling comfortable with the person you're speaking to matters.

I offer an initial confidential conversation to discuss what brings you to counselling and whether working together feels right.
