Will Jones
Counselling and Psychotherapy
Sessions available in-person in Leeds City Centre, online and by phone
Welcome to my counselling service
Are you feeling anxious, stressed, low on confidence, empty, numb or unhappy with your life? Are you struggling in a relationship or after a bereavement? Do you feel that the same situation keeps happening over and over?
I offer a welcoming and safe space where you can talk about your thoughts, feelings and issues without judgement and feel heard, which can help you to grow and change.
Together we can also explore your difficulties so that you develop greater awareness and understanding, and as a result have more flexibility in your decisions and feel empowered to make new choices.
The most important part of counselling and psychotherapy is our relationship, so I will also blend my knowledge of different types of therapy, training and experience, and adapt my approach to meet your needs and goals, such as by discussing coping techniques.
My main influences are person-centred, existential and psychodynamic therapy but I can also draw on ideas from other forms of therapy such as cognitive behavioural therapy. Uniting all of the therapies in my approach is the core idea that how we think, feel and behave is shaped by our relationships past and present, and that the therapeutic relationship can be a catalyst for change.
I provide in-person, online and phone sessions to individuals aged 18 and over who live in the UK.
I offer an introductory session for £30.
After that, individual sessions cost £50.
I also offer block bookings of 6 sessions for a discounted price of £270.
All sessions last 50 minutes.

A little more about me
Before I was a therapist I taught English as a foreign language in Italy and worked in administrative roles in health and education.
In my spare time I enjoy films, baking, and going on walks in the countryside.
In 2019 I went to Sierra Leone to teach Maths and English, and help local charities with their projects.
