Cynthia Kelchure-Cole:
Integrative Counsellor, Coach, Therapeutic Social Worker & Clinical Supervisor (BACP, BPS, SWE)
Hi, my name is Cynthia Kelchure-Cole, and I am an integrative counsellor, coach, therapeutic social worker, and clinical supervisor practising from HQ Therapy Rooms in Dalston, Hackney, E8.
I believe in K-I-R (keeping it real), life can seem like an obstacle course, at times we are able to navigate the course, by finding ways to get over, through or around the obstacles this supports us to keep moving!
Sometimes we stumble and cannot find the way through, or around the obstacles not even with support from friends and family. It is at these times that life can seem overwhelming and unmanageable, and we can make life-changing decisions.
By allowing me to walk alongside you and support you using counselling and maybe coaching techniques, we can together find new pathways that support you to go around, through or over these obstacles, so that you do not make a life-changing decision based on a resolvable situation.
I have worked within the NHS, and in the statutory and volunteer sectors providing social, emotional and well-being support for individuals for over thirty years.
I have experience of working with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and imposter syndrome linked to domestic violence, sexual abuse, and cultural and race-based traumatic experiences. I continue to work with sexual-based trauma within a national charity.
I provide support, training, and supervision for professionals within the health and social care sector in support of individuals and services becoming trauma-informed. I have lived and worked in London, Jamaica, and other parts of the Caribbean. I am aware of interlinked cultural perspectives that may be challenging for you, I am therefore mindful and respectful of cultural norms.
How we can work together
I work from the perspective that you are unique, therefore ‘one size cannot fit all’. I support you to explore your strengths, we do this by sometimes going back to the past and bringing forward ideas that can be useful to you now, as we look to the future and move forward, by creating “bespoke-solutions”
As an integrative practitioner, we explore different ways and therapy techniques that support in communicating in the way that suits you best. I can offer more than talking therapy, I encourage the use of creative activities that assist you to be able to share thoughts and emotions when you may not be able to find the words.
Alongside working in private practice at HQ Therapy, I also have a practice in Docklands, East London.
Sessions
Sessions are 50 minutes and can be face to face or online. You can book a weekly slot, or we can have some flexibility, however, therapy is not a ‘quick fix’. I would suggest a minimum of six sessions; however, the choice is always yours it can be as long or as short as you want.
