About Tom:
Thomas Smithson, MA, Dip.Couns, Dip.Super (MBACP)
Hello, my name is Tom and I set up New Horizon Counselling in 2018. I'm a BACP registered therapist, supervisor and tutor with over 7 years of extensive therapeutic experience. I have provided over 4500 hours of clinical Counselling and Psychotherapy to adult clients.
I can offer a supportive, kind, non-judgemental space to help you explore whatever it is you are going through. You might be feeling anxious, depressed or stressed, going through life changes, struggling with relationships, self-worth, looking to explore yourself, your identity or even understand and change behaviours. Additionally, I specialise in working with the LGBTQIA+ community an area I am incredibly passionate about.
​
I am an encouraging therapist who also aims to challenge you. My ultimate goal is to work hard to help you work hard. I won't offer advice, but I will offer thoughts, ideas, and exercises to get you thinking not only in the sessions but between them too. I am here to support you as you work towards your therapeutic goals. My work is based mostly online.

"The old me would have written 'Thank you for changing my life' but I can now say 'Thank you for guiding and helping me to work out for myself why and how to change my own life'."
"Tom is a fantastic counsellor. I had tried counselling twice before but on both occasions it was unsuccessful; mainly as I did not connect with either counsellors. It was so different with Tom! he has a friendly welcoming style where I felt so comfortable talking about subjects that I had buried for years."
“I now have the confidence to follow my dreams and believe in myself.”
"Tom is amazing! He provided me with a safe space to talk without judgement and helped me find answers to my own problems. Thank you so much Tom"
