Elia Ciucurita Integrative Art Psychotherapist London E8Elia Ciucurita:

Integrative Arts Psychotherapist (HCPC, BAAT)

My name is Elia Ciucurita and I am an art psychotherapist working in the reduced-rate service at HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston, Hackney, London E8.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Integrative Art Psychotherapy and am a registered member of the British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT) and HCPC (The Health and Care Professions Council).

Following the steps laid out in my training, I adhere to an integrative approach when it comes to working with clients, adjusting my modality to the client’s needs.

Thinking of people in a holistic way allows me to create a non-judgmental, safe and accepting environment.

In the session, there is a space for clients to use the arts in order to explore their inner worlds, by connecting with lost, forgotten, damaged or neglected part of their self.

Art Therapy can also lead to the discovery of inner resources and hidden creative potential. No previous experience of working with art materials is necessary.

Prior to training as a therapist, I worked in the hospitality industry and in childcare settings.

I also have experience working in schools with young people on the autistic spectrum and a range of other learning difficulties.

This has enabled me to gain an understanding of how important it is to have a warm, welcoming and calm presence, adjusting the pace of work to the individual needs of each person.

I am interested in helping others to reach their full potential by helping them undergo a process of self-discovery and self-acceptance.

My previous experience is in dealing with family issues and conflicts, such as relationship breakdown and divorce, moving countries and communication barriers, and I have a special interest in supporting clients who are struggling with drug and alcohol abuse.

I am available to work in a hybrid way, with a preference for face-to-face work, however when life circumstances interfere, with a possibility of offering an online alternative.

I offer therapy sessions in both English and Romanian.

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 fill out the form below in confidence, and one of our fully qualified referral therapists can work with you to make sure you connect with the right practitioner and receive the correct therapy and counselling services you require.
