Karolina Vaitkeviciute Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor London E8Karolina Vaitkeviciute:

Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor (UKCP, BACP)

Hi, my name is Karolina Vaitkeviciute, I am a qualified humanistic psychotherapeutic counsellor working at HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston, Hackney, London E8.

I am registered with the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by their ethical frameworks.

I base my practice on anti-discriminatory and non-oppressive values and welcome individuals from all cultural and religious backgrounds, sexual orientations, and practices (including those from LGBTQ+, kink, and polyamorous communities).

With years of experience in navigating the mental health sector, I have helped numerous people advocate for themselves, make sense of confusing labels, explore their difficulties, and reconnect with their agency in challenging situations.

My advice for someone looking to work with a counsellor is to find an ally who will support you without losing sight of your strength to weather the storm.

I offer this allyship by working collaboratively, and I encourage you to reach out no matter where you are in your journey.

In my practice, I draw from a range of psychological theories and methods, incorporating Person-Centered, Gestalt, and Transactional Analysis modalities. Furthermore, I integrate up-to-date neuroscientific research to tailor an approach that meets your needs.

I offer warmth, adequate challenge, and transparency to truly honour your capacity for growth and healing. There is a wealth of wisdom in understanding how you relate to others and yourself, and I will encourage you to explore this safely with me, building on your self-knowledge and awareness.

From this foundation, we can experiment with new ways of being.

 

My areas of special interest are:

I offer sessions for individuals on a short-term or long-term basis, as well as online and face-to-face.

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.
