About Timothy

Timothy Anderson works from a blend of trauma-informed and somatic approaches to help people facing relationship and life stresses. He is a BACP counsellor with five years of experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, addictions and problems tied to family and intimacy. Timothy keeps language simple and meetings straightforward so that worried parents and busy people can follow along.

He focuses on what is happening now and how past experiences connect to current struggles.

Background and approach

Sessions look at family history and earlier wounds to see how they shape present behaviour. That can uncover patterns around attachment, abandonment fears, codependency and control issues. Some work brings the body into the conversation using somatic techniques to notice physical reactions and soothe them.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used to help process traumatic memories. Systemic therapy helps map relationship dynamics and family patterns that keep problems repeating. Timothy also draws on mindfulness and meditation as practical tools for grounding between sessions.

He aims for a warm, down-to-earth tone and a space where people can speak openly without feeling judged. Sessions are intended to be collaborative and paced around each person’s needs. Practical matters such as scheduling, session format and cost are handled through the platform’s onboarding process.

International clients may be seen and sessions are offered in English.

How EMDR, Somatic and Systemic Work Online

Timothy uses a combination of EMDR, somatic therapy and systemic thinking to help people tackle trauma and relationship patterns. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, involves guided attention to help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge. Somatic therapy pays attention to bodily responses - breath, tension and sensations - so those reactions can be noticed and eased. Systemic therapy looks at how family and relationship dynamics shape behaviour and helps map patterns that repeat over time.

Choosing the right approach is often part of therapy itself. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort levels. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new needs emerge.

Online formats make it straightforward to access these ways of working from different locations. Video calls allow visual connection useful for EMDR or somatic exercises, phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options offer flexibility for people juggling work, family or travel while keeping treatment consistent and focused.
