Tom Godsal

About Me

My name is Tom Godsal and I'm a psychotherapist and counsellor based in central Cambridge. I help adults in the Cambridge area overcome a wide range of emotional and mental challenges. I believe that everyone has the potential to grow and change, and I aim to provide a supportive and respectful environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe and confidential space.

My Approach

My approach to psychotherapy is influenced by existential philosophy and draws on various therapeutic frameworks including psychodynamics, CBT, humanistic and existential psychotherapy. This means I believe in the power of human potential and the importance of acknowledging the unique experiences and anxieties of each client.

I offer a collaborative and non-judgmental space where you can explore your concerns, process painful memories, and develop new coping mechanisms. I believe in building a strong and trusting relationship with each client, as this forms the foundation for effective therapy.
