Henry Clay Person-Centred Counsellor Hackney London E8Henry Clay:

Person-Centred Counsellor (BACP)

Hello, my name is Henry Clay and I am a Person-Centred Counsellor.

I am a qualified member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) and hold a level 4 diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, Person-Centred Approach.

I work with clients online and in person at HQ Therapy in Haggerston & Dalston.

There can be times when we feel that something is troubling us or causing distress, there may be something that feels like an obstacle, or you can feel like there is something you find difficult to understand.

If these are the types of questions that are coming up for you, counselling might be able to help and support you.

The counselling relationship can offer a confidential, non-judgemental space to explore challenging issues and difficult feelings that you are encountering.

We would work collaboratively to look at these areas at a pace that is right for you and look to find a clearer understanding and perhaps new perspectives that can facilitate positive changes in your life.

I work with adults and have training and experience in several areas including anxiety, bereavement, depression, family issues, grief, loneliness, loss, low self-confidence, low self-esteem, pandemic-related issues, panic, relationship issues, self-esteem, sexuality, stress, trauma and work-related stress.

I work on an open-ended basis which means sessions are not limited to a certain number, however, we would check in regularly to make sure we are focused on what you would like to bring to therapy. This may change during the time we are working together, and we can adjust and adapt as we progress further.

Sessions are 50 minutes long; my rate is £75 for a single session, or I charge £70 per session when booked for the month in advance. I also have a limited number of reduced-rate slots available through HQ.

If you would like to have an initial consultation to talk about what you are looking for from therapy, you can ask any questions you might have about coming to counselling sessions with me and I can explain a little more about how I work we can schedule a phone call. This will last between 20-30 minutes and there is no charge for the consultation call.

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.
