Tom Falkenstein

I offer one-to-one appointments in Hammersmith on Fridays only. Please get in touch by email to book an appointment or to enquire regarding online sessions via Zoom outside these times. 

Welcome

I’m Tom Falkenstein, a psychotherapist accredited in the UK and Germany, specialising in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and integrative approaches. I incorporate and blend techniques and interventions from Mindfulness-based therapies, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Schema Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion-focused Therapy (EFT), Compassion-focused Therapy (CFT), Gestalt Therapy and Logotherapy. Since 2006, I’ve worked with clients from diverse backgrounds in building resilience, understanding themselves more deeply, and creating lasting change.

My Work

​I help with depression, anxiety, panic, personality and relationship issues, anger, psychosis, grief, and challenges around high sensitivity. A safe, respectful therapeutic relationship is central to everything I do.

Special Focus on Sensitivity

Alongside my therapy practice, I’ve specialised in working with Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) since 2013. I offer HSP consultations and HSP assessments. I have been supervised and trained by Dr Elaine Aron, and wrote The Highly Sensitive Man (HarperCollins, 2019). which has been translated into several languages and was described as "a balm, a movement, and a revelation" by singer-songwriter-activist Alanis Morissette. My work has been featured internationally and I’m currently completing a PhD on sensitivity and mental health at Queen Mary University of London under the supervision of Prof Michael Pluess. In 2025, the scientific journal Clinical Psychological Science published my first study on sensitivity and mental health.

Please do get in touch by email for individual therapy or HSP consultations and assessments.

I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (Â鶹ԭ´´), the German Society for Behavioural Therapy (DGVT) and the European Association for Psychotherapy (EAP), having been awarded their European Certificate of Psychotherapy (ECP). I abide by their ethical frameworks.
