Hello! My name is Tom Kent and I have a Masters in Systemic Psychotherapy, which means I am able to work with individuals, families, couples, children and adolescents.  I have over 10 years’ experience working within adult, adolescent and child mental health services. I also have experience working within disability, addiction and looked after children environments. I aim to offer effective and individualized psychological care.  Don't worry if this all sounds a bit daunting as I am able to offer a 20 - 30 minute free discussion prior to you deciding whether my way of working would suit you!  I am welcoming, down to earth and compassionate with my approach and always feel that we are in the therapy together.  My aim is to be a guide for you to discover and heal yourself.

My focus is to help individuals, couples and families move forward with hope and positivity. This is achieved through uncovering their inner strengths and positive values and beliefs.  I utilise a range of research-based approaches and offer a 'light' touch to help with what may be perceived as 'heavy' problems. I am able to work with multiple complex dynamics and have experience and enjoy working with difference. I take a sensitive and understanding approach to my work, which has helped get positive outcomes in a short space of time.  I am not one to spend years keeping clients in therapy.  I want clients to become self-reliant, resilient and foresee a hopeful future, which is always achievable with a bit of motivation and work.
