Thomas Jones

I am a BACP registered existential psychotherapist with experience of working in the charitable and voluntary sectors alongside my private practice. My training includes cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic approaches, and I use both in conjunction with my existential background to work in an integrative and flexible way. I have worked with clients experiencing a range of difficulties including anxiety, bereavement and loss, relationships and family dynamics, self-esteem and confidence, sexuality and compulsive sexual behaviour.

I have also worked across a range of education sectors for fifteen years, including with pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), in secondary schools, and in Higher Education. Prior to this, I came from a background in the arts. Both factors inform my approach to psychotherapy, where I draw on my expertise in facilitating learning and building rapport as well as my interest in creative ways of working.

I currently divide my time between teaching at University College London (UCL), doctoral study and my psychotherapy practice. I am currently in the later stages of completing a doctorate in existential psychotherapy and am particularly interested in the education and training of psychotherapists as well as the relationship between psychotherapy practice and research.
