Kate Loosmore Trainee Integrative PsychotherapistKate Loosmore:

Trainee Integrative Psychotherapist (BACP student member)


My name is Kate Loosmore, and I am an integrative psychotherapist in training working in the low-cost therapy service at HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston, London E8.

I study at Regent’s School of Psychotherapy, where I am working to gain a master’s degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling.

Coming to therapy may seem intimidating, and I will do all I can to put you at ease and create a space in which you feel safe. Perhaps you have been feeling isolated, or feel lost, or anxious.

Sources of distress are all around us, and deciding to see a therapist is a wonderful step in taking care of yourself and reclaiming some control in your life.

People are drawn to begin therapy for many reasons, and difficulties from any point in our lives can resurface in the present.

We will explore the problems you are facing together, at a pace you are comfortable with.

My priority is to understand you as fully as I can and to help you become open to a more complete knowledge of yourself and your possibilities for living a more fulfilled, energised life.

Approach
My approach is integrative, meaning that my practice is informed by different schools of thought, including psychoanalytic, existential and humanistic psychotherapies.

I believe in tailoring my approach to suit your unique needs and will draw on these different tools to meet your situation. My style is warm and empathic and I work with clients collaboratively, as equal partners in an alliance.

Background
I have worked in a COVID ward providing informal mental health support to inpatients since the peak of the second wave. This has given me an awareness of the range of mental health needs people live with daily, and how common it is to struggle and need support.

I regularly experience the difference it can make to provide someone with an outlet for their suffering and make a connection with another person who will engage with them without judgement.

I’m available to see clients either online or in person, and look forward to meeting you and beginning our work together.

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.

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.
