About Me
Hi, I’m Tom. I’ve worked in the mental health industry for more than a decade, running creative wellbeing charity Retune and impacting young people aged 5-25 all over the UK. I have also studied to be a counsellor, and I am a professional musician and writer.
Perhaps my greatest wellbeing connection, however, is my own lived experience. I have a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder and OCD and I have lived with a great deal of depression and anxiety. I have been hospitalised on many occasions and sectioned three times. Such experiences, while extremely distressing when they occurred, have been crucial in building my own resilience and means of coping during challenging periods. Life can throw everything at you, but it is our ability to bounce back and find a way forward that is truly transformative.
As your wellbeing coach, I will work with you to overcome obstacles that you are facing, both physically and mentally, and develop meaningful strategies to progress your life and achieve your goals. We will assess what is standing in your way and, over the course of an eight-session programme, work together to empower you on your wellbeing journey.
I draw extensively on the SCALES Model that we developed at Retune in my coaching practice. SCALES features six wellbeing ‘strings’ (Sleep, Creative, Active, Listen, Earth, Social) which can be used to live a healthier, happier, more balanced and more harmonious life. It is a toolkit that you can use as you gain the confidence to step out and thrive.
The price for a 60-minute session with me is £60.
If you book onto my eight-session SCALES programme, the price is £400 reduced from £480, making each session £50. This programme includes an introductory session, one session for each of the six strings of SCALES and a summary, bringing everything together and enabling you to move forward with confidence.
My service is mobile – I am able to travel to you (within a 10-mile radius of Bishop’s Stortford) and hold the session in your home, in an environment where you are comfortable.
