Will Jones
Counselling and Psychotherapy
Therapy for adults in-person in Leeds City Centre, online and by phone
Welcome to my counselling and psychotherapy service
​​​​​​Are you struggling with anxiety, stress, anger or low self-esteem? Are you feeling empty, depressed, or lost? Are you having difficulties in your relationship, at work, after a break up or after a bereavement? Are you dealing with one of the many other issues listed here?
​​​ You do not have to face your problems alone, I am here to help. Through therapy with me you can feel supported, gain a greater understanding of your difficulties and yourself, get new perspectives and work out new ways forward.
​​
How do I work?
​​
I am an integrative therapist, which means that I draw from different therapeutic approaches to meet your individual needs, goals and preferences, rather than rely on only one method.​​
​​
That means that your sessions can be a space for you to talk through your thoughts about your difficulties or work through your feelings at a pace that suits you. ​
They could involve exploring your experiences to identify patterns and what is outside of your awareness, or include me asking thought-provoking questions and offering a new perspective.
We could also discuss coping strategies or work out how you could deal with situations differently.
​​
The types of the therapy that I incorporate into how I work include person-centred, psychodynamic, existential, solution-focused and cognitive behavioural therapies. The core uniting theme of my approach is the importance of us forming an effective therapeutic relationship that helps you.
​​​​​
Where do we begin?​
​​​
I believe it is important that you find a therapist that you feel comfortable talking to, so I offer an introductory session for a reduced price of £30 where you can get a feel for how it is to speak to me. In that session we can also discuss what has led to you seeking therapy, what you would like to get from sessions and how we can go forward together.
After the first appointment, individual sessions cost £55.
​​​​​​​
All sessions last 50 minutes.
​​
If you would like to book an introductory session or have any questions, please get in touch.

About me
What is my work experience and training?
​
I have run a private practice in Leeds City Centre for over six years working with a wide variety of clients and issues including low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, stress, anger, anxiety, and trauma. Before that, I volunteered at Bradford Counselling Services offering short-term therapy to a diverse group of clients from a range of backgrounds.
​
I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling & Psychotherapy from Leeds Beckett University (2018) and CPCAB certificates in Counselling Skills and Counselling Studies from Coventry University College (2016). I have also completed Online and Telephone Counselling training with Counselling Tutor (2020).
​
My most recent training includes:
​​​
Working with people with compulsive sexual behaviours
Working with survivors of domestic abuse
Best practice when supporting autistic clients
Suicide bereavement​​​​
Working with grief and loss
Working with adult survivors of childhood trauma
Working with complex trauma
LGBTQ+ specific issues
​
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and I work in line with their ethical framework.
​
I have a particular interest in working with clients who have been bereaved by suicide. You can find links to specific resources for people bereaved or affected by suicide here.
​
What is my life experience?
​
Before becoming a therapist, I taught English as a foreign language in Italy, and I worked in office roles in health and higher education.​ In 2019 I went to Sierra Leone to teach Maths and English to local children.
In my spare time I like being in nature and taking walks in the Yorkshire countryside. I have also started doing pottery at a beginner level, have an interest in history and support Kidderminster Harriers FC.
​
I have benefitted from therapy myself while facing personal challenges and I know it can help you too.
