Jelena Petrisceva Trainee Psychodynamic Counsellor London E8Jelena Petrisceva:

Trainee Psychodynamic Counsellor (BACP student member)

Hi, my name is Jelena Petrisceva and I am a trainee psychodynamic counsellor in the low-cost therapy and counselling service at HQ Therapy Rooms at Haggerston, Hackney, London E8.

My journey into the world of mental health professions has been fuelled by a profound belief in the transformative power of therapeutic support for individuals grappling with various challenges, including depression, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and more.

Amid the complexities of our current world, where uncertainties and crises seem to be a constant companion, I recognize the importance of addressing the impact these factors may have on our mental well-being.

As a psychodynamic therapist in training, I explore the unconscious mind, delving into its profound influence on thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.

While Freud was one of the pioneers who introduced and deepened our understanding of the unconscious, psychodynamic therapy has evolved, incorporating various theories and techniques that deepen our understanding of the human psyche and behaviour but keep the unconscious mind at its core.

In our sessions, we will delve into the complexities of your unconscious mind, unravelling the layers that shape your thoughts, emotions and behaviours.

I understand the importance of providing a confidential and warm space for you to explore the difficult and often unspoken aspects of your inner world. My commitment is to create an environment where you can feel safe, supported, and free to express yourself without judgment.

Together, we will navigate the intricate landscapes of your mind, fostering self-awareness and enriching your relationship with yourself.

I am a student member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and follow their Ethical Framework. In addition to my formal training, I bring nearly three years of volunteer experience. During this time, I have worked closely with individuals facing the challenging journey of suicidal thoughts.

This experience has honed my ability to connect empathetically and offer profound support during moments of profound vulnerability.

I work face-to-face in Haggerston. Every person’s journey is unique, and I am here to explore the depths of your emotions and experiences. Our collaborative work will focus on uncovering the roots of your challenges and fostering personal growth and resilience.

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 get in touch with us using the low-cost help and advice form and one of our fully qualified therapists can work with you to make sure you get the right advice you need in order to receive the correct low-cost therapy and counselling services you require.

Our practitioners deal with a wide range of therapy issues using different types of therapy modalities tailored to the types of clients we work with. We also cater for people who are beset with financial difficulties, offering them services ranging from low-cost therapy and reduced-rate therapy to working with seasoned, qualified and accredited talking therapists.
