Kevin Thomas, BACP

Kevin Thomas is a qualified counsellor based in the North West of the UK who offers a calm, person-centred approach to therapy. He holds BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) membership and prioritises the quality of the therapeutic relationship over lists of qualifications. Having engaged in therapy himself for many years, he understands the value of a space where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly without judgment.

He believes therapy should be led by the individual - the person in therapy is the expert on their own life - and his practice reflects the principles of Person-Centred Therapy (PCT). That approach focuses on creating the conditions for self-reflection, helping people to gain clarity and make decisions that fit with their values and needs rather than receiving direct advice.

Kevin recognises that it can be difficult to share inner struggles with friends or family, even when intentions are kind, and that those barriers often lead to bottled-up emotions. His role is to offer a supportive environment where those feelings can be acknowledged and worked through. He is open to addressing a wide range of concerns and, where another service would better meet someone's needs, he will discuss alternatives and offer recommendations.

He aims to build a therapy experience that feels respectful and practical, and he hopes his way of working will resonate with those seeking a reflective, client-led process.
