Timothy Slater, BACP

Timothy Slater is a counsellor registered with the BACP who draws on five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about feeling stressed, anxious, low in self-esteem, or simply unheard. Timothy speaks plain language and focuses on what clients want to change in their lives.

Timothy follows a client-centred approach, which means he works alongside people rather than directing them. Sessions focus on listening, understanding, and helping clients find their own way forward. He offers practical support for issues such as addictions, relationship challenges, grief and coping with life changes.

He also works with people managing ADHD and those affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder, helping them to recognise patterns and try new strategies. Conversations aim to be straightforward, with room for reflection and small practical steps between sessions.

Timothy describes his role as a supportive companion through difficult moments. He emphasises empathy and respect, and follows the BACP ethical framework in his work. This means he offers professional boundaries and clear practice standards as part of sessions.

If someone prefers a gentle, person-centred style, Timothy will listen first and build from there. He encourages people to bring what matters to them and to set the pace for change.

How client-centred work translates to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places emphasis on creating an empathic listening space where the person leads the conversation. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what the client says, asks open questions, and supports the client to set goals and pace. This approach suits people who want a steady, respectful environment to talk through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, ADHD challenges or Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Timothy will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most helpful. He will check what matters to the client, try ways of working, and adjust the focus and pace based on progress and preference.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people keep continuity of support while juggling work, family or study commitments. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online sessions to keep therapy flexible and practical.
