Alexandra Cooper Trainee Integrative Psychotherapist (BACP student member) London E8Alexandra Cooper:

Trainee Integrative Psychotherapist (BACP student member)


My name is Alexandra Cooper, I am a trainee Integrative Psychotherapist working in the low-cost therapy and counselling service at HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston and Dalston, Hackney, London E8.

I am currently training for an MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling at Regent’s University London. I am also a student member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I am specialising in integrative psychotherapy, meaning that I take different therapeutic modalities and tailor them to your needs and find out what works for you.

The main theories I look to when delivering therapy come from the humanistic and existential approaches, however, this is not set in stone and really does depend on what the client requires.

I believe that successful therapy provides a space for you, the client, to bring whatever it is you need to talk about, and as a result, my first aim is to create a safe and judgement-free space for you.

A place where you feel comfortable to be totally yourself and bring anything to the room, starting the therapeutic process at a pace which suits you.

I see my role as a therapist to help you explore and understand whatever the issues are that have brought you to therapy and find a way together to move forward and either resolve them or just be able to cope better in a way that benefits you and your individual situation.

I think that part of this process starts with talking to a therapist who will provide empathy, a listening ear and a supportive environment to help you attain whatever it is you personally want to gain from coming to therapy.

Fundamentally, I really believe that just voicing a problem out loud and having someone to provide you with their full attention, can make a world of difference to how you feel about a problem and is always a good place to start.

Having gone through the process of therapy myself, I understand how daunting it can be, especially when you don’t know what to expect, but I also have seen first-hand the positive effect that it can have and how the skills acquired can be taken into your day to day life for the better.

I am available to see clients both in person and online via zoom.

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 low-cost 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 low-cost therapy and counselling services you require.
