Adam Reynolds:
Trainee Therapist (BACP student member)
My name is Adam Reynolds, I am a trainee therapist working in the low-cost therapy and counselling service at HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston and Dalston, Hackney, London E8.
I am currently completing my final year of an Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling at CPPD in Hornsey.
As part of my training, I have been working with clients on a weekly basis for over a year, and now I have space to take on additional clients face-to-face with HQ Therapy.
I’ve spent much of my adult life working in the media industry, which provided me with exceptional interpersonal skills as I have encountered a wide array of clients and colleagues from broad cultural backgrounds. I was curious to understand people better which led me to read books on psychology and counselling techniques.
During the lockdown, I decided to begin my therapy training with the leading counselling college CPPD, where I study the integrative model, meaning that I incorporate various models of psychotherapy into my work with clients.
As each person is different, my approach varies depending on the client’s needs.
My training draws on principles of Gestalt, Person-Centred Therapy and Transactional Analysis, as well as CBT. My clients can expect to be treated as an individual, with genuine curiosity and compassion.
I have of course spent many hours in therapy so I understand that it can be a daunting experience initially, so I aim to demystify the process so that clients who are new to therapy make sure thay are made to feel very welcome.
I will start our sessions by getting a deep understanding of your experience and story, and from there begin to integrate some techniques to aid in completing unfinished cycles, and overcoming areas in which you may be “stuck” in life.
My style is personal, direct and goal-oriented.
Some key areas I am experienced in working in are:
- Addiction & Recovery
- Anger Management
- Anxiety
- Boundary Issues
- Career and Work Counselling
- Codependency
- Coping Skills
- Depression
- Grief and Loss
- HIV/AIDS
- LGBTQIA+ Issues
- Relationship Issues
- Self Esteem
- Sexual Abuse Survivors
- Sexual Addiction
- Social Media Addiction
- Stress Management
- Trauma and PTSD
I am currently seeing clients face to face at HQ Haggerston and Dalston.
