About Me
Tom Wegg-Prosser
Hi, I'm Tom and I am an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist. I started my therapy journey 10 years ago following careers in the music industry and then as a touring musician. On hanging up my guitar, I was drawn to helping people, and I began training as a psychotherapist, and when qualified worked in the NHS and then on Harley Street before starting my private practice.
My learning and experience has taught me that there are many ways to help someone move forward, but typically that does not happen by spending large amounts of time looking backwards. By gently looking at the past we can gain insight. And by exploring and challenging our existing beliefs we can make progress. But, I feel to truly realise change, we must acknowledge what we do when we are experiencing difficult thoughts and feelings, be kind to ourselves in the face of these often unhelpful responses, and then choose to commit to behaviours more aligned to our values.
Together we can explore this process and collaboratively plan how to create a better future. Threaded through this is the understanding that by remaining in the present, our habits of ruminating on the past or imagining a difficult future can be changed. We can then be kinder to ourselves and more connected to what matters, even in the presence of challenge.
Client Testimonials
When I started therapy with Tom my life was in turmoil. I just simply couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. Therapy with Tom helped me out gradually and without realising I began to see the positive out of the negative, to differentiate what is in my control and what it isn't. This, along with other techniques, has increased my confidence and I’m now a much happier person, accepting and being grateful for what I have.

When I began working with Tom, I was highly anxious and didn’t really know why, or how to manage my feelings and thoughts. Having worked with him now for over a year, it’s been quite literally life-changing, with me feeling both healthier and happier. He’s very knowledgable, compassionate and I would highly recommend working with him.

Tom rapidly and perceptively understood the challenges I was facing post-cancer and, together, we built a relationship and an effective programme to address them. He has a lovely style of delivering support and insight whilst also holding me to account for my own outcomes. I look forward to the time we spend together.
