Online Gestalt Psychotherapy
Who am I?
My name is Thom Fairclough and I am an English speaking online psychotherapist, working throughout the UK and Europe. I am UK qualified and UKCP fully accredited. In addition, I am accredited with the EAP which is a European standard of excellency for psychotherapy. I have nearly 20 years of experience and over 18,000 client hours in psychotherapy and clinical supervision (as of March, 2026) I speak English and Norwegian, but work in English.
My Approach
I work with many life issues, such as anxiety, life changes, depression, sexuality and trauma. I don’t promise quick fixes. Real change takes time, and I believe in an honest, realistic and grounded approach to therapy. While change can of course begin early, lasting change often takes longer than one or two sessions. As part of my training, I have had hundreds of hours of one-to-one and group therapy; this has been both in-person and on-line. It hasn’t always been easy, but it has been deeply transformative.
I don’t start from the premise that you are 'ill'. I know that many people come to therapy feeling ‘broken’ or ‘ill’, but I see these struggles as 'creative adaptations' that we all make to navigate life’s challenges. While these adaptations might not feel very 'creative' at times, the good news is - if you’ve adapted before, you can adapt again! Therapy is about rediscovering your capacity to do so.
What I Offer
I focus on offering meaningful and personal online therapy. If you’re interested, feel free to reach out and we can have a talk about our availability and whether we might be able to work together.
I work on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. We can initially discuss things via email and I can share with you my Therapeutic Agreement for you to take a look at and consider. Then we can arrange some time where we can discuss things further. We can agree on a set number of sessions or work in an open-ended way, reassessing periodically to make sure you’re getting what you need from our time together.
Practical Matters
Prior to our booked time, I will send you an email marked 'PRIVATE' and this will have a link that you simply click. You do not need any special software, just a pc with a camera, microphone, speaker, internet connection and a private space.
