My name is Thomas Fairclough, I am 42 years old and live in Whittle-Le Woods, Chorley, Lancashire. I hold a Bachelor's Degree with honours, a Masters Degree in Medical Health Science (Psychotherapy), an advanced counselling diploma and qualifications in Clinical Supervision and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy amongst other qualifications related to Continuing Professional development.

As well as being a very 'normal' human being, with my own life experiences, character, idiosyncracies and of course: 'flaws'; I am also a fully qualified and experienced counsellor & psychotherapist and I have studied and trained in several different therapeutic techniques in order to help people resolve their problems and issues or to simply find more focus in their lives. This enables us to 'tailor make' therapy to suit you and your needs.

I have particular interests in Existential Psychotherapy, Gestalt Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and am committed to ongoing professional development.

I run a successful, private practice in which I enjoy an 'informal' and relaxed setting away from a 'clinical atmosphere'. I work therapeutically, for a charity, one day per week with young people between the ages of 10-19yrs who have been affected by sexual violence. I have previously worked for Social Services and a local Primary Care Trust.  I have also worked therapeutically with children and young people through Children's Services and Children With Disabilities Services.

I have one dog and two horses which I love. I have an appreciation of the 'great outdoors' and get out there as often as possible in all weathers! I play the piano and love hiking up hills, rambling, reading, travelling, studying and keeping fit.
