Jamil Ahmed is an Existential Integrative Psychotherapist accredited by the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He provides therapy both in person at Roodlane Medical New Broad Street and via online consultations. His clinical approach draws on an integrative framework that combines elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with psychodynamic theory. He is also undertaking further professional training in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Jamil originally trained in Occupational Therapy, gaining experience across NHS services, social care environments and charitable organisations. His clinical work encompasses a broad range of presentations, including anxiety disorders, depression, stable psychosis, eating disorders, ADHD, substance misuse, self-harm, relationship difficulties and the psychological impact of long-term physical health conditions.

Alongside his private practice, Jamil works as a university lecturer and is completing a Doctorate in Existential Psychotherapy. His therapeutic work is grounded in existential principles, supporting individuals who are facing complex life events such as bereavement, loss and major transitions.

In his sessions, Jamil focuses on exploring patterns of thought, underlying beliefs and decision-making processes, encouraging reflective examination of personal challenges. Therapy is structured as a collaborative process, with the length and frequency of work determined according to individual needs. Standard appointments are one hour in duration.
