Tom

Mr Tom Petridis

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

Trained in many areas of psychotherapy, for a variety of reasons, including anxiety, depression, stress, couple’s issues, trauma, self-esteem, and addictions, my goal is to treat you as the whole person, where we, as a team, decide what goals are best for you in each moment.

About Me

I offer a space where we can truly explore your concerns together. My goal is to support you as a whole person, whatever you are facing. We will work collaboratively, deciding what goals are best for you in each moment. This ensures sessions always align with your evolving needs. This approach suits those seeking a partner in their journey towards greater well-being.

Approach

Holding your life context at the centre, I attend to what feels most urgent while staying open to deeper, longer-term shifts. In comfortable in-person sessions in Newmarket or online in English, we move at a pace that fits you — steady check-ins, practical experiments between sessions, and gentle tracking of patterns that feed anxiety, low mood or addictive behaviours. Sessions blend focused skill-building with reflective exploration so you leave with usable steps and clearer perspective. This way of working suits adults and couples seeking a collaborative partner.
