John, a little info would be good...you are in the UK, right? You can go to the "User CP" and fill in your location and zones for people to reference when helping you.

Now, looks like you have him inside. Probably outside would be better. In dappled shade, which is always acceptable when a tree is stressed. Don't water again until his soil is dry for the first inch or so, and make sure that the drainage holes are clear in the pot (not blocked with debris)

It probably is a Chinese Elm, sure looks like it, but others may have a better idea. If so, they are pretty tough, and keeping it in dappled shade and not too wet should allow it to come back.

Good luck, and welcome to the Grand Obsession!
