Adrianna Pearce Psychotherapist London E8Adrianna Pearce:

Advanced Trainee Psychotherapist (UKCP student member)

Hi, my name is Adrianna Pearce. I am a trainee psychotherapist in the reduced-rate therapy and counselling service at HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston and Dalston,Hackney, London E8.

 

My Approach:
Sometimes we have times in our lives when the way forward isn’t clear. It can feel like we’re trying to climb a mountain in the dark, tripping over our feet as we search for the trail.

Therapy can be like a flashlight, helping to illuminate the obstacles in our way so that we can find the path back to ourselves.

I get that finding a therapist can seem overwhelming; the terminology about the different types of therapists alone can be complicated and confusing.

More than that, the prospect of opening up about something deeply personal to you and asking for help can feel really scary.

My first aim when we meet is to help you feel supported and safe.

I believe a big part of why therapy helps is through the relationship we build together, and that the building blocks of that relationship are warmth, compassion, and dignity.

Everyone is unique, and what suits one person in therapy might not work for you.

I draw on different therapy approaches to ensure we’re working in a way that is the most supportive of your goals.

I would be honoured to meet you and hear your story.

 

My qualifications and availability:
I’m currently part-way through my training as a humanistic psychotherapist at the Metanoia Institute.

I am registered as a trainee therapist with an accrediting body, the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).

This means that as a practitioner I adhere to a code of ethics and that I am accountable to both my university and to the UKCP.

I am currently available for in-person sessions on Saturdays from 1-4 pm.

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. Simply get in touch with us using the Reduced-Rate help and advice form and one of our fully qualified therapists can work with you to make sure you get the right advice you need in order to receive the correct Reduced-Rate therapy and counselling services you require.

Our practitioners deal with a wide range of therapy issues using different types of therapy modalities tailored to the types of clients we work with. We also cater for people who are beset with financial difficulties, offering them services ranging from low-cost therapy to working with seasoned, qualified and accredited talking therapists.
