Tom Malcolm

Hello, I will be available for practice from Monday 5th October. Before then I am available for initial consultations.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate” – Carl Jung

My name is Tom and I grew up in the countryside environment of the ‘friendly northerners’ where chatting was the norm, however I realised something was missing. We were able to talk as long as we presented an acceptable version of ourselves which would only represent a fraction of who we really are. The less presentable parts of us remained hidden and isolated, its logical to think that means we are in control of what we present, but this is in fact a paradox, and attempts to hide these undesirable parts only give them more power over our lives.

Just like navigating at night using a torch, what you illuminate is brought into your awareness which then gives you greater agency over how you decide to continue. In my therapy practice we work together to shine the torch on items in your unconscious, understand them, and gain greater agency in your ability to navigate your life.

The name of my practice is Fractal Therapy, inspired by the natural patterns which govern all of the earths processes, including our own. I employ a technique called Dynamic Symmetry, which when combined with Psychodynamic, Gestalt and Humanistic principles can allow us to explore the whole spectrum of your experience.

Exploring these patterns can help us learn about your inner and outer world. Patterns can be identified across different spectrums, from individual to group, from past to present, from inner to outer, from large to small, revealing patterns of action and behaviour across seemingly un-connected areas. What begins as a small change to the present pattern of your actions can amplify and lead to significant changes in the future. Together we will work to identify and understand these patterns, empowering you to instigate impactful changes to guide you towards self-actualisation- therapy talk for our most authentic and empowered state of being.

I understand this can sound daunting, but the process is based in a very simple method. I encourage you to reach out to book a free initial consultation if you wish to understand if this method may be right for you, or check out my intagram page where I explain the concepts through relatable examples of music and film.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Tom

I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation for you to explore whether we will be the right fit for you to achieve your goals of therapy. 

Our first session will be booked based on your availability. 

One important consideration is that I travel frequently so will have periods of 2 weeks 5 times per year during which I will be unavailable. Breaks in therapy can be beneficial to the therapeutic process, however if this would be an issue for you, I encourage you to seek an alternative therapist who can provide the availability you are seeking.
