Tomasz Konieczny , BACP, NCPS

Tomasz Konieczny, who often introduces himself as Tom, offers a collaborative and action-oriented approach to therapy that emphasizes practical steps toward change. He creates a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where people can explore anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and the many everyday stresses that make life feel overwhelming. Tomasz is particularly focused on men’s mental health and the specific social pressures and expectations that can affect men’s wellbeing, helping clients navigate those challenges with empathy and clear direction.

Trained as an integrative therapist, Tomasz draws on person-centred, cognitive-behavioural, and psychodynamic techniques while placing strong emphasis on solution-focused work. He regularly uses Solution-Focused Brief Therapy - SFBT - and takes a directive stance when appropriate, working with clients to define concrete goals and the steps needed to achieve them. Sessions aim to uncover strengths, build new coping strategies, and translate insight into practical action so progress is both felt and sustainable.

His practice supports people dealing with motivation and self-esteem concerns, coping with life changes, longstanding trauma, and relationship difficulties. Tomasz describes the therapeutic relationship as both supportive and challenging - he listens closely while also encouraging clients to move beyond comfort zones toward more fulfilling lives. He maintains ongoing professional development and follows the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) - professional organizations that set ethical and practice guidelines for counsellors and therapists.

Therapeutic Approaches and Effective Online Support

Tomasz integrates client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in his online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on empathic listening and creating a supportive space so clients can explore their feelings and values; it is particularly helpful for issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and building resilience. CBT offers structured tools to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, making it well suited to anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy - EFT - for relationship and attachment work, helping partners or individuals understand emotional patterns and respond to them more constructively. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Tomasz works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, tailoring sessions to preferences and progress rather than applying a single template.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. These options allow consistent access to licensed professionals and make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions, while still focusing on practical strategies and meaningful change.
