Brigitta Rab:
Trainee Integrative Counsellor (BACP student member)
My name is Brigitta Rab. I am a registered student member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
I work with adults in a safe, warm, and non-judgemental space providing therapy sessions online and in person at HQ Therapy in Haggerston.
I finished the Counselling undergraduate course at the University of East London in 2023.
I hold an offer to the Addiction MSc at King’s College London. I am planning to gain more knowledge in addiction therapy, prevention, and recovery.
I believe that as human beings, we are all experiencing difficult emotions and feelings and finding ourselves in difficult situations because of these.
There is no shame in needing help in untangling emotions and navigating life-challenging situations.
I help my clients through a range of difficulties, especially with existential issues, anxiety, depression and loneliness. I am open to working with addictive behaviours, easing the guilt and shame around addiction.
I believe addiction is a coping mechanism for an underlying, sometimes unconsciously, hidden issue, or it also could derive from trauma as a response to masking guilt and shame. I believe that in our society, we have created some misconceptions around this topic, and I am here to helping to change the attitude around it.
I am here to help in this journey towards getting better and ease the heaviness of the challenges as an experienced, understanding and non-judgemental therapist.
The Integrative approach allows the sessions to be uniquely tailored to every client’s needs. I draw from many types of therapy modalities, such as existential, psychodynamic and person-centred.
- I support clients to access their self-compassion, build acceptance of themselves, gain self-confidence, finding inner freedom.
- I believe that understanding and approaching ourselves with acceptance and self-compassion could help us to find the path to freedom and joy.
- I believe meditation and the use of mindfulness and breathing exercises are great tools, especially when working with anxiety.
- I believe working together with clients with challenging decisions and behavioural patterns could transform their life.
- I am an open-minded person with an honest heart whose passion is to be challenged by a different kind of thinking and who likes to contemplate the world with curiosity.
- I am a Hungarian woman who arrived in London in 2011 and has worked in Hospitality since then in restaurants and hotels, seeing and knowing the hardship of the working class. In my family, I have experienced addiction closely, which awakened my interest in this subject.
If my introduction made you feel interested in working with me, please do not hesitate to contact me.
I offer therapy both in English and Hungarian.
