Octavia Puckett Integrative Psychotherapist London E8Octavia Puckett:

Trainee Integrative Psychotherapist (BACP student member)


My name is Octavia Puckett (Ottie), I am a trainee psychotherapist completing my studies at Regent’s University. I am diligently working towards honing my skills and developing a profound understanding of the human psyche. My goal is to contribute meaningfully to the well-being of others, guiding them on a journey towards self-discovery and personal growth.

My journey into the field of psychotherapy began during my undergraduate years when I pursued a degree in Psychology at Newcastle University. It was here that I developed a deep fascination with the complexities of the human mind and the intricate interplay between thoughts, emotions, and behaviour.

My therapeutic approach is characterised by a client-centred and integrative perspective. I believe in the power of tailoring interventions to suit the unique needs of each individual.

Drawing from various therapeutic modalities, including psychodynamic, humanistic, and person-centred approaches, I strive to create a collaborative and open space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in a supportive environment.

As a student member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to their Ethical Framework.

I am committed to providing and creating a safe, secure, confidential environment that is free from judgment and biases where I encourage and help clients to freely explore their thoughts and feelings. During the initial sessions, the focus will be on forging and building a connection, exploring what has brought my client to therapy, and learning more about life experiences.

In essence, I am not just a trainee psychotherapist; I am a dedicated companion on your journey to self-discovery and personal growth. My commitment to continuous learning and empathy forms the foundation of the supportive and transformative space that I aim to create for each client.

I have gained valuable experience volunteering for helplines for people who needed someone to talk to, whether it was for a conversation if they were feeling lonely, or for those who feel that their lives are not worth living. In my free time, I enjoy exercising, playing sports, and spending quality time with my loved ones and friends.

I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you on your journey and forge a therapeutic relationship that can help you explore and understand more about yourself. If you’re ready to get started and feel as though I could be the therapist to help you, I invite you to reach out and schedule a session.

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.
