Thomas Hurlock-Norton, BACP, NCPS

Thomas Hurlock-Norton is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and the challenges that come with life changes. He also helps people with LGBT-related concerns and issues around motivation and confidence.

Tom works in a straightforward, respectful way. He listens first and tailors conversations to each person. He uses client-centred methods alongside cognitive-behavioural ideas and existential thinking. Sessions focus on what feels most useful right now.

His practical approach means clients can expect to talk through immediate worries and look at small changes that help day to day. He pays attention to relationships, attachment patterns, and how stress or chronic health issues affect daily life. He also supports people dealing with isolation, caregiver strain, and life-purpose questions.

Tom has three years of experience in counselling. He aims to create clear goals with each person and to adjust the plan if something isn’t working. He asks people to choose a calm, interruption-free place for sessions and will postpone meetings if someone is under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling via the Start Therapy option. Sessions run through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.

How Tom’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy centres the person and their experience, so the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client. This helps when someone needs empathy, clearer self-understanding, and support making personal choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical exercises and small behavioural steps that can reduce anxiety, panic and low mood over time.

Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, freedom and responsibility. It can help people facing big life questions, midlife concerns, or uncertainty about purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different ways of working, and tailor the plan based on what the client prefers and needs. That collaboration helps decide whether to focus more on practical CBT techniques, person-centred listening, or wider existential questions.

The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into everyday life. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow sessions from a chosen quiet space.
