Adam Reynolds | Trainee Therapist

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:

I am currently seeing clients face to face at HQ Haggerston and Dalston.

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?

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.
