Francis Bavetta Humanistic and Integrative Counsellor London E8Francis Bavetta:

Trainee Humanistic and Integrative Counsellor (BACP student member)


Hello. My name is Francis Bavetta and I am a trainee humanistic and integrative counsellor working in the low-cost therapy and counselling service at HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston, Hackney, London E8.

Entering into Therapy can be a difficult decision to make and can be daunting for some.

Working in a person-centered way, my focus will be on creating a strong relationship with clients and creating a safe space for them to explore any issues they may be experiencing.

I believe that we as individuals, are the experts on our own lives and the role of the therapist is to empower rather than to fix or advise. I will support you on a journey of increased self-awareness.

 

Approach:
I am currently completing a Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling at CPPD in Hornsey. My training draws on principles of Gestalt, Person-Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic, Transactional Analysis and CBT.

Whilst the work I do is built on a strong foundation of person-centred theory, I will use elements of these types of therapy modalities when appropriate to facilitate the client’s work in the best possible way.

I have previously completed a Level 3 Certificate in Person-Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy at Salford University.

I am an insured student member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)

 

Background:
Following my studies in music, I have worked as a support worker for over ten years, I have experience working closely with :

In my current work, I am the Wellbeing and Support Lead at an arts college. This role sees me managing the counselling department, acting as a safeguarding lead and being responsible for the mental health support of vulnerable young adults.

 

Practicalities
I am available for in-person sessions between 13:00 and 16:00 on Sundays at HQ Therapy Rooms’ Haggerston location.

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.
