Welcome, and thank you for visiting Tom Underwood Counselling. My name is Tom and I am a counsellor providing both short- and long-term therapy to adult individuals in London and Online.
About me
I am a qualified Counsellor and registered member of the BACP. I have years of experience working short and long-term with clients facing various challenges. My approach is integrative, and I tailor my methods to fit your unique needs.
I’m passionate about helping others because I believe in the power of connection and deeper understanding. My own journey has taught me that seeking help can be a courageous step, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.
You can also find me listed in Counselling Directory.
Supporting Your Growth
As a counsellor, my goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and change, and I'm here to help you navigate that journey.
Together, we’ll work at your pace. I’ll listen without judgment and I aim to empower you to find your own solutions whilst fostering a deeper understanding of yourself.

I work from a private office located at 41 Abbeville Road, SW4 9JX, in a quiet area of Clapham South, Greater London. I see clients from Clapham South and the surrounding areas, including parts of Greater London and Surrey.

"My experience of Counselling has had a transformatively positive impact on my life. I was provided with the professional and confidential help that I needed to allow me to deal with past issues and grow from them. I believe this will stay with me as I finish my course of therapy and have a great benefit going forward."
NM, In-person
“I have been working with Tom for the last 6 months. From the outset he was warm kind and compassionate, listening intently to me describe my emotions, feelings and behaviours. This created a safe space where I feel completely accepted and respected, enabling me to be honest and open in I way I never have been before. Over this time, our way of working together has developed and I have gained greater clarity and confidence from it. I feel more empowered to say how I feel and ask for what I want to those I love and who love me. Tom is a fantastic therapist and incredible person. Thank you!"

“I was referred and worked with Tom during my 12 weeks of sessions via the NHS. At first, I was initially a bit hesitant on what therapy would entail, but straight away Tom made me feel comfortable and we developed a strong trust during our time. Tom leads his sessions with grace and a strong emotional intention by asking the right questions and getting you to explore connections between your past and present actions. Since our sessions I can already see a difference in building self-confidence and self-esteem.
I encourage anyone who is curious about counselling and wants to prioritise their mental health to work with Tom!"
