Thomas | Couples Therapist
Therapy Brighton and Hove
Welcome to my couples therapy practice, where I specialize in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) – a research-backed approach proven to yield long-term positive outcomes for up to 80% of couples.
Why EFT?
Unlike traditional therapy modalities that often focus on surface-level issues, EFT delves deep into the emotional landscape of relationships. By identifying and addressing underlying patterns of interaction and emotional responses, EFT fosters genuine understanding, trust, and connection between partners.
Research consistently demonstrates the effectiveness of EFT, with a significant majority of couples experiencing profound improvements in their relationships that endure over time. This evidence-based approach not only resolves current conflicts but equips couples with the tools to navigate future challenges together.
The Impact on Couples
In my practice, I’ve witnessed countless couples experience transformative breakthroughs through EFT. From rebuilding trust and intimacy to improving communication and resolving longstanding conflicts, the impact is tangible and enduring.
Clients often report feeling more connected, understood, and supported by their partners. They develop a deeper appreciation for each other’s emotional needs and learn to navigate disagreements with empathy and respect. Ultimately, couples emerge from therapy with a stronger, more resilient bond that enriches every aspect of their lives.
What to Expect
During a session of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, you can expect a safe and supportive environment where both partners have the opportunity to express their thoughts, feelings, and concerns openly. Through guided exercises and structured conversations, we’ll explore the underlying emotions driving your relationship dynamics.
I’ll facilitate constructive dialogue, helping you both deepen your understanding of each other’s perspectives and experiences. Together, we’ll work towards identifying and reshaping negative patterns of interaction, fostering greater intimacy, and building a foundation of mutual trust and respect.

Online therapy
I understand that modern couples lead busy lives, and finding time for in-person counseling sessions can be challenging. That's why I offer a convenient and effective online therapy platform to help couples nurture their relationship from the comfort of their own home.
Using whereby.com as the trusted platform, I provide a secure and user-friendly environment for couples to engage in therapy sessions with me. Whereby.com offers seamless video conferencing capabilities, making it easy for couples to connect with their therapist from any device with internet access, whether it's a laptop, tablet, or smartphone.
My online couples therapy sessions are designed to replicate the intimacy and effectiveness of in-person counseling while offering the added benefits of flexibility and convenience. Couples can schedule sessions at a time that works best for them, eliminating the need for travel and accommodating even the busiest of schedules.

Specialisations
Field of Expertise:
In my practice, my primary focus is on emotional focused couples therapy. I specialize in providing an integrated approach to couples therapy, drawing from various therapeutic modalities to create a comprehensive and personalized treatment plan tailored to each couple's unique needs and goals.
Specialization:
My integrated approach combines elements of emotional focused therapy with other effective therapeutic techniques, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), attachment theory, and somatic & mindfulness-based interventions. This holistic approach has been shown to be more successful in addressing a wide range of relationship issues and facilitating lasting change.
Most Treated Issues:
I have extensive experience working with couples facing a variety of relationship issues, including but not limited to:
- Communication breakdowns
- Trust issues and infidelity
- Intimacy and sexual concerns
- Parenting and co-parenting challenges
- Financial stressors and conflicts
- Life transitions (e.g., marriage, relocation, career changes)
Expected Number of Sessions:
The number of sessions needed varies depending on the unique circumstances and dynamics of each couple's relationship. While some couples may experience significant progress and resolution of their issues within a relatively short timeframe, others may require ongoing support and therapy over an extended period.
On average, couples may attend anywhere from 10 sessions to a year or more, depending on factors such as the severity of their issues, their level of commitment to therapy, and their willingness to actively engage in the therapeutic process. I work collaboratively with each couple to establish realistic goals and expectations and to determine the most appropriate course of treatment.
