About me
Never before has work and home life been so hectic and demanding. Health and relationships can also bring challenges to our mental wellbeing, leading to higher levels of stress, anxiety and depression; phobias, poor sleep and trauma can also add to the burden of living, but whatever difficulty you are facing, and in as few sessions as possible, I can help you turn the tide into a more relaxed and fulfilling life – quickly and effectively with the Human Givens solution-focused approach to psychotherapy and counselling – in Edinburgh, or online wherever you are.
I’ve found in over 25 years of practice in Graceful Change, starting out helping people with acupuncture and oriental herbs, that the impact of not having mental and emotional needs met due to prior adverse events, can have a big impact on physical health and overall mental wellbeing. And so in order to help clients overcome mental and emotional challenges more effectively, I trained as a Human Givens (HG) therapist and can provide a wonderfully gentle and safe way of healing trauma, and helping folk find their often overlooked inner strengths and resources, to thrive and live a fulfilled life.
Practical and down to earth, HG is suitable for all ages and cultures, providing simple and powerful insights and tools, to overcome anything life throws at you. Feel confident to go forward feeling more in control of your life than ever before, knowing the affects can last a lifetime.

Testimonials
"Talking to you has indeed changed the way I think about the negative past experiences and has changed my reaction towards the memories. Thank you very much for helping me erase my bad habits and my thanks also for building my confidence and putting the smile back on my face. I wish to maintain this happiness and wellbeing for the rest of my life.”
"I chose to consult Tom solely on the basis that he looked kind. He IS kind, very kind in fact, but also sensitive, wise, and highly skilled at what he does. He very gently and quickly, flushed out the root problem of my anxiety-induced sleep problems and associated general grumpiness, by guiding me into areas of myself that I didn't even know existed and by showing me how to tap into reserves which I would never have been able to access on my own. Tom helped me to confront, deal with and overcome the pain of significant personal loss, regrets and past hurts - so that they just melted away. The relief was, and remains, immense. Tom is a gifted and giving individual who is blessed with a natural warmth, as well as a great sense of humour and I feel incredibly grateful to have benefited from his considerable talents.”
"I was looking for someone to help me resolve significant and longstanding traumas. Tom was sensitive, insightful, perceptive and so easy to talk to - he understood exactly what support would benefit me. I was a little dubious about accessing ‘therapy’ based on a negative experience 20+ years previously, however in two empowering sessions my issues were addressed and both times I left the session feeling light and joyful; the impact of the work was impressive and far exceeded any expectations".
"Having seen a handful of therapists/counsellors, I cannot recommend Tom enough. He offers practical advice in a kind and caring manner, taking a holistic approach. I liked the fact he was solution based rather than just to listen - which he is also amazing at. Tom went above and beyond my expectations which I will be forever grateful for.”
"Thank you for your sessions, they've made a wonderful change to my life”.
