Rate Tomasz Konieczny

Hi, I’m Tom, and I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth. I understand how daunting it can be to reach out for help, especially when life feels overwhelming. My approach to therapy is about creating a safe, welcoming space where you can feel heard and understood—without judgment.

I work with individuals facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. I have a particular passion for supporting men’s mental health and recognizing the unique pressures and societal expectations that men often face. My goal is to help you navigate these challenges, offering both empathy and active engagement in your therapeutic journey.

My Approach

While I am trained as an integrative therapist and draw from various therapeutic modalities, including person-centred, cognitive-behavioural, and psychodynamic therapies, my practice is highly solution-focused. I incorporate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and take a more directive approach in our sessions. This means I work actively with you to identify your goals and the concrete steps we can take to achieve them. My goal is to help you find practical solutions that empower you to move forward and create positive change in your life.

What You Can Expect

In our sessions, we will work together to uncover your strengths, develop new coping strategies, and move towards a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling. I believe therapy is not just about talking—it's about taking action to create positive change in your life. Whether you’re dealing with long-standing issues or recent struggles, I’m here to help you navigate through them. I believe in the inherent worth and potential of every individual and am dedicated to guiding you towards greater self-awareness, resilience, and well-being. My approach is collaborative but directive, ensuring that we stay focused on your goals and the actionable steps needed to reach them.

Our Therapeutic Relationship

Professional Commitment

I am committed to ongoing professional development and adhere to the ethical standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). Your mental health and well-being are my top priorities, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

I believe that you are the expert of your story and possess many strengths to overcome challenges. Taking the first step towards a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, and I am here to support you in that process. Let's work together to unlock your potential and achieve your goals.
