Kate 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.
