THE TRUSTEE

Jan Sammut is a mental health care practitioner based in the United Kingdom, specialising in an eclectic blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Non-violent Communication, and Hypnosis. Before his involvement in psychotherapy, Jan garnered over two decades of experience in the financial services, fiduciary, legal, and education sectors. This prior journey has endowed him with a robust set of management and leadership skills that translate seamlessly into his current role.

Having led teams of specialised professionals in global organisations and contributed at executive levels in fiduciary services, taxation, wealth management, and estate planning, Jan brings an invaluable perspective to mental health care. His governance skills ensure a structured and ethical approach in therapy, just as they have in the management and oversight of complex financial structures.

As someone who has long been committed to education and career development, Jan extends his expertise in client education and innovative practice. Collaborations with educational institutions like the Institute of Financial Services and the University of Malta have honed his ability to communicate complex ideas in accessible ways, a skill he now employs to demystify mental health topics for clients.

Jan’s experience as a guidance counselor and career coach aligns perfectly with his work in psychotherapy, as he focuses on holistic client well-being, encompassing emotional, psychological, and even vocational facets of life. He is currently working on a groundbreaking method aimed at democratising mental health support, leveraging his interdisciplinary skill set to develop a quick, easy-to-learn strategy for overcoming emotional distress.

Beyond the clinical setting, Jan has demonstrated a commitment to community well-being through years of managing charitable organisations, an extension of his ethos to improve lives by marshalling available resources.

With an unparalleled background, Jan remains steadfast in his mission to elevate the standard of mental health care through client empowerment, continuous research, and innovative practice.
