Jack Bellamy:
Trainee Integrative Psychotherapist (BACP Student member)
“The act of revealing oneself fully to another and still being accepted may be the major vehicle of therapeutic help”– Irvin D. Yalom
Hello, my name is Jack Bellamy. I am a trainee integrative psychotherapist working in the low-cost therapy and counselling service here at HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston, Hackney, London E8.
I am available for in-person counselling, both short and long-term work.
I am currently in the last year of study for my bachelor’s degree in integrative counselling and psychotherapy at the University of East London. I am a registered student member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP).
I have been trained to work in various therapeutic approaches. These are Psychodynamic Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Person-Centered Counselling and Existential Counselling.
I work integratively as I believe this allows me to customize my approach to suit the unique needs of each client, by drawing on elements of these different types of therapy approaches.
Through my own journey with therapy, I have come to realize that feeling free to talk openly with someone who is attentive, accepting and empathetic is of the utmost importance. I believe it is a counsellor’s primary job to facilitate an environment where this is possible.
Once a therapeutic relationship is established, I believe that a great deal of positive change can be achieved.
I understand that starting therapy can be an intimidating experience, and I will always endeavour to create a safe and non-judgmental space.
We can conduct therapy at a pace that suits you and I am fully open for you to bring any topic or life experience you need to the therapy room.
If you choose to undertake therapy with me, we will start with a brief introductory session in which I will invite you to share with me the difficulties you are facing and what you are hoping to gain from therapy.
We can discuss a potential therapeutic approach tailored for you and there will be an opportunity to ask me any questions you may have.
There is no obligation to continue therapy with me after our introduction session.
The therapeutic relationship is an integral part of therapy and I believe it is important that you find a therapist who feels right for you.
In addition to HQ Therapy, I am also in placement at Headstrong Counselling in which I have worked with clients with a range of issues including anxiety, panic attacks, ADHD, identity issues, relationship issues, grief, insomnia, addiction, religious identity, spirituality and fear of flying.
I follow the BACP ethical framework in all my counselling work.
