Tom Burton Counselling

I’ve known Tom for 10 years and believe that with his counselling and support I’ve been able to work through many personal issues.Tom is a patient, compassionate and professional therapist. His methods are very supportive and effective, as his interventions are not intrusive. Tom takes the time to understand the issue, concerns and infers his advice and guidance with clarity ensuring I comprehend his point of view after he’s understood mine.I started seeing Tom in person while I was living in Victoria and when I moved away we’ve been able to continue our sessions via Skype, for which I have been very greatful, as his supporter has been extremely helpful.

I had done a lot of research to find a therapist I felt would be the right fit. It was great meeting Tom for the initial consultation. About 10mins into the session, I knew I had found the right fit for me.Over the last year Tom has helped me deal with loss, finding my inner strength, uncover and understand so much about myself.Being vulnerable and sharing my feelings/thoughts was never an easy thing for me. However; it came naturally with Tom as he has a very compassionate and empathetic approach. I've had tremendous growth over the time I've been his client and look forward to seeing what continued work will uncover.I am truly blessed to have stumbled across his website. I certainly condider myself very lucky to be a client of his.

I would recommend Tom to anyone who needs support during difficult times.With his passion, care, and patience, he helped me overcome obstacles in my life.It is with Tom's help that I have started living the life that I've always wanted but never thought was possible.Thank you

I have known Tom as a trusted colleague for over a decade. I view him as a therapist of integrity, insight and above all commitment to his clients. He is well versed and grounded in his theoretical knowledge and expertise in both couples and individual therapy. I have no hesitation in recommending him to any client.Trisha Hiland, M.A., Registered Psychologist #551

I saw Tom for a few years while he practiced in Victoria and was very grateful for the time I spent with him. I feel very lucky that he was the first counsellor I reached out–the more I hear about other people's experiences with counselling and therapy, the more I appreciate Tom.Tom has a very kind and compassionate presence that makes me feel at ease. He's good about helping me make changes without him telling me outright what to do. And he's not afraid about calling me when I'm not honestly engaging in a session (this only happened at the beginning).Despite him moving to Edmonton, I've decided to start seeing him again and am glad he offers video chat sessions and continues to visit clients when he routinely visits Victoria.

I have known Tom for 15 years as a colleague and recognize that he approaches his work not just as a job, but as a calling. He is a highly skilled clinician as a result of his commitment to continued professional development, his understanding of theory and willingness to do the introspective work himself that he expects of clients.

I have been seeing Tom for several years now and still find his sensitivity, compassion and insight incredibility helpful. Tom has a deep ability to help a person discover the early influences in our lives that tend to drive our negative emotions and subsequent behaviour. Tom has always created a safe positive environment to help me understand the difficult things we seem to keep bottled up inside and have trouble working though. Without a doubt this has improved my relationships and helped me become a more balanced and better person, thanks Tom.

I sought Tom for couples counseling and found he guided conversation between each of us, as well as individually to bring forth issues in a comfortable environment; providing tools and necessary breaks in pace to ensure hard topics were addressed safely and productively.I look forward to continuing my counseling as an individual, and checking in as a couple in the future.I truly feel Tom has helped myself and my partner gain confidence and skills to be more communicative and I would highly recommend him to anyone even thinking of speaking with a counselor.

Tom is a skillful and caring counsellor and clients I have referred to him over the 10+ years we have been colleagues have reported satisfaction with his guidance as they navigated difficult times in their lives. Victoria's loss is Edmonton's gain.

Tom Burton is an experienced, caring psychotherapist who is well grounded in a number of counselling theories. I admire Tom for his insight, professional knowledge, and integrity. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone, client, friend, or family member, seeking the serviced of a skilled, compassionate, insightful psychotherapist
