Specialised Support for Highly Sensitive People: Wellbeing Sessions Blending Modern Psychology with Traditional Eastern Methods

I know Tom for couple of years now. He is one of the Heartfulness meditation trainers in Yorkshire. We both share this role and we meet regularly for Sunday heartfulness meditation gatherings in and around Leeds and Yorkshire. In addition to the above role, he is also an excellent yoga trainer.

Tom is very calm and composed person, who takes in all the information about any subject, given to him at any point, evaulates it from his deep spiritual understanding as well as through the modern world' pragmatic lens and gives his best advice and approach to the people. They generally get really motivated after talking to him to bring the required change in their lives. His calm and positive aura makes them not just comfortable but also optimistic. In addition to all above, he is very approachable and extremely professional in his work and I wish him all the best in his endeavours to bring positive change in the lives of his clients.

Tom is such a good listener and psychologist and I always feel comfortable talking to him. One of the things I appreciate the most is that I never feel judged, and I feel like I can be completely honest about anything.
Also, he genuinely takes the time to understand me and gives me a safe space to just talk and vent when I need to, or offers advice if that’s what I need in the moment, I really like that he always asks me in the beginning what I would like to talk about in that session.
He also often follows up after sessions with helpful tips or videos about like breathing techniques to manage anxiety, yoga exercises for calming down, etc.
I’m super glad I found him and would definitely recommend him to anyone.

I have known Tom for several years. We are both trainers in Heartfulness Meditation practices. I have found Tom to be a thoughtful, sensitive, and ethical person. Tom backs up his naturally warm listening skills with learning based on his research into sensitivity and well-being and his experience of interacting with a wide range of people from different cultures and backgrounds. I believe Tom would be a patient, sensitive, and knowledgeable teacher.

During my session with Tom, I wanted to discuss some challenging feelings. I found my emotions felt very physical, e.g tightness in my throat, a knot in the stomach and tension in my shoulders and jaw.
Tom held a space of listening and non-judgement which allowed me to feel safe to talk authentically. I found myself saying "I am angry because......". I then unpacked a deep burden I had been carrying.
I cried.
Tom was very caring and grounded and guided me not to get stuck in the emotion and instead to accept, feel and then move along.
I am grateful for this session as I feel something has been lifted.
I highly recommend a session with Tom if you relate to anything I have expressed here.

I had a great time working with Tom, he helped me process some work and personal issues and really help me see my mental health in a new light. Tom has a great quality of balancing an objective view on issues with great interpersonal skills. The result is feeling understood but not judged. I'd gladly work with Tom again.

Tom's warm presence and unique ability to listen has helped me navigate through many difficult situations.

His guidance has been instrumental in helping me regulate my thoughts and emotions, and make more grounded decisions. I also learned a lot about communicating with others in a way that is actually helpful in my relationships!

I highly recommend reaching out to him for support in navigating life's challenges with more ease and confidence.
