Your invitation to authenticity and wholeness.
Hello, my name is Tom, thank you for stopping by.
It takes courage to explore your support options and try something new.
For over fifteen years I have supported humans to heal, grow stronger and courageously reach for their personal and health goals and longings.
Based in the UK, I support humans worldwide via zoom. My CI sessions are informed by therapeutic modalities such as IFS, Somatic Experiencing, Family Constellations and polyvagal theory alongside my qualifications in Sports Science, Personal Training, Nutrition, Breathwork and more.
I view my life as an ever changing work in progress, I live in a state of ‘becoming’ as I continue to study, learn and integrate teachings into my own daily life. My own life has been deeply touched by Compassionate Inquiry and it is a true honour to witness my clients reconnecting, transforming and embracing their own lives.
My intention, first and foremost, is to provide a safe space where you feel held with kindness so you can explore and connect with those parts of you that are longing to heal, relax, unwind and thrive.
Rest assured you don’t need to know the answers, together we can explore your questions, doubts, fears and dreams.
All healing comes from connection and together we will welcome every colour and shade of your life. I will invite you to get in touch with and welcome anything that wants to come to the surface so you are free to express, ask and embrace a life of dynamic aliveness and all it means to be human.
I offer a safe and sacred space for you to be seen, heard and held. I will support you to discover your own truth and create a definition of what an authentic life is for you. During your session I will support you to unearth clarity to gain insight around your needs, allowing you to say an authentic Yes or No in ways that nourish and support you.
As you live the seasons of life I am here to be a safe presence, holding you in possibility as you make friends with all the facets of your experiences.
It can be scary to ask for help, know that every part of you is valid and invited here.
If you feel a calling, reach out, it will be my honour to help you discover your own truth and happiness.
“The way Out is In” ~ Zen Proverb
What is Compassionate Inquiry?
Compassionate Inquiry (CI) is a gentle and transformative trauma informed approach that supports us to develop a compassionate relationship with ourselves, leading to greater self-awareness, emotional well-being, and the ability to live more authentic and meaningful lives. CI helps to heal and transform the sources of our pain and suffering with kindness and understanding by releasing unresolved emotions, suppressed feelings and underlying beliefs that we have stored in our bodies. Compassionate inquiry is a beautiful way to bring healing and positive change into our lives. When we approach ourselves and others with curiosity, empathy, and kindness, amazing things happen.
How is Compassionate Inquiry different from other types of therapy?
Compassionate Inquiry not only focuses on intellectual understanding of our experiences but also acknowledges and honours the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and emotions. Rather than solely treating or managing symptoms, CI uncovers the root causes of pain and suffering, supporting healing through embodied awareness and processing. Compassionate Inquiry helps us to recognise and rewrite the limiting beliefs that we created about ourselves and the world during difficult and vulnerable times. CI unearths the wisdom of our coping styles, transforming outdated behaviours into authentic, supportive and conscious choices, empowering us to discover our truth.

Client Testimonials
Tom’s presence is the safest I have known within a therapeutic environment. He is sincere, honest, encouraging and kind, yet not afraid to challenge me when I am limiting myself.
His support and presence has allowed me to deepen my own self love and compassion, connect with peace, and become brave enough to invite more joy into my life. I wish everyone on the planet could have a ‘Tom’ to support their healing journey.
