Natasha Mackey Integrative Counsellor & Therapist London E8Natasha Mackey:

Integrative Counsellor & Therapist (BACP)

Hi, I’m Natasha, a BACP registered Integrative Therapist working at HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston, E8.

Beginning or restarting your therapy journey can feel overwhelming, as I remember from my own experience, but it is also incredibly empowering.

This is the time you’re setting aside each week just for you. It is protected time away from the pressures of daily life to pause, take a breath and explore your unique lived experience.

We will work together confidentially, at your own pace, to build an authentic, mutually respectful relationship where you will feel able to explore aspects of yourself that you may not feel comfortable or safe bringing to anyone else.

My working model is grounded in both humanistic and psychodynamic theory, which means that, when you feel ready, we’ll explore both current and past experiences with a view to creating long-lasting, positive and sustainable change. I’m dedicated to fostering a non-judgmental, non-discriminatory and inclusive space. My integrative training enables me to offer therapeutic tools specific to your unique needs.

Therapy is a collaborative process, and my pain priority is that you feel supported and heard. Together, we will work to find greater clarity and empower you to create a more positive future.

Finding a therapist who feels right for you is important. If you feel I might be someone you’d be interested in working with, please reach out. I offer 20-minute consultations over the phone or via Zoom to explore how we might work together and to answer any questions you may have.

I work both short and long term and currently have availability in person and online on Friday afternoons.

I look forward to meeting you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should I Seek Therapy?

Many people, new to this type of help, believe that they need to be suffering from “mental illness” or serious “psychological problems”, or be in crisis in order for therapy and counselling to be appropriate for them. This is a common misconception; anyone can benefit from therapy when it comes to helping you deal with your personal feelings and problems, make positive changes in your life, and understand yourself better.

So what is therapy and counselling? If you’re new to this world then the first steps can sometimes be the most difficult. Therapy can be a very effective treatment for a whole range of personal problems covering areas from physical and emotional problems, different types of behavioural disorders, through to human sexuality issues and a host of wellbeing and complementary therapy techniques.

Any problem you have that is causing you concern, anxiety or distress is a valid and appropriate reason to reach out and find a therapist and talk to them about it. Far from something to be ashamed of, acknowledging your vulnerability and asking for help is a sign of maturity and strength.

If you feel that you have a desire and are committed to making changes in your life in order to overcome your current problems and achieve more long-term satisfaction, psychological wellbeing and personal fulfilment, then you are ready to seek therapy. We are here to help you work through a wide range of therapy issues that might be troubling you.

Will Information About Me Be Safe & Secure?

It is quite normal to be hesitant when it comes to sharing private and intimate information about yourself with a stranger. You may fear that you will receive judgment from your therapist, or that your therapist will share your details with others.

HQ Therapy Rooms takes your privacy and confidentiality very seriously. Our therapists are required to keep everything said in therapy sessions between you, just like your doctor is required to keep your records private.

For therapy to be effective, there must be unconditional trust built between you and your therapist, and this relies on a shared understanding of confidentiality. It applies to the outside world as well: it is standard practice for therapists not to acknowledge their clients if they run into them outside of the therapy rooms in order to help protect their client’s confidentiality. Read our full privacy policy for more information.

Can I Contact You For Advice About Getting Therapy?

Talking about your thoughts and feelings with a supportive therapist can often make you feel better and help you face your problems. It feels good to be listened to and to know that someone cares about you and wants to help. It is important that you find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and can build a trusting relationship to help you make positive changes in your life.

But how do you know what type of therapy is right for you? Taking the first steps in finding the right therapist can be the biggest hurdle for newcomers, so we have made it easy.
