Tash Thomas-Still

I see therapy as a collaborative journey, guided by openness, curiosity, and your unique needs. Together, we can explore how your inner and outer worlds shape who you are, gently uncovering strengths, tender places, and new possibilities for healing and growth. While therapy can sometimes feel challenging, it can also bring clarity, resilience, and even moments of lightness and humour. I welcome everyone, and I have particular experience supporting people affected by rape and sexual abuse, domestic abuse, trauma, anxiety, chronic illness and pain, baby loss, life loss, and grief.

Whatever your story, I believe you already carry the wisdom and resilience you need, and our work together can help bring that forward. My approach is integrative and flexible, drawing on Person-Centred counselling, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Transactional Analysis (TA), somatic awareness, and creative interventions. I work from a trauma-informed perspective, always respecting your pace, your safety, and your unique journey. Alongside my professional training, my own life experiences have shaped the way I practice and help me bring a depth of empathy and understanding. Clients often describe me as calm, supportive, and down-to-earth, and I aim to create a safe and trusting environment where you can feel truly met as you take steps towards healing and change. I aim to create a safe, consistent, and supportive space where you can explore whatever feels important to you. Sessions are collaborative and paced around your needs — whether you are seeking short-term support for a specific difficulty, or longer-term therapy to explore patterns, trauma, or ongoing challenges.

I work integratively, drawing on Person-Centred counselling, Gestalt, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Transactional Analysis (TA), somatic awareness, and creative interventions. In practice, this means I adapt my approach to you as an individual, respecting your pace and your goals. Some sessions may feel more reflective, others more exploratory or practical, depending on what feels most useful for you. My style is relaxed and down-to-earth, and I believe there should be room for moments of lightness and laughter as well as space for tears. At the same time, I take the work of therapy seriously, recognising that it requires courage and respect. To support this, I work in line with the BACP Ethical Framework, attend regular supervision, and am committed to ongoing professional development. This first conversation is an opportunity for you to share what brings you to therapy, ask any questions you may have, and get a sense of how I work.

There is no pressure — it’s simply a chance to see if we feel like a good fit for one another.
