Ortensia Terzi Therapist Hackney London E8Ortensia Terzi:

Trainee therapist (UKPC trainee therapist)


My name is Ortensia Terzi, and I’m currently a trainee therapist at HQ Therapy Rooms, in Haggerston and Dalston, Hackney, London E8, where I’m a part of the  low-cost therapy and counseling service.

My journey into psychotherapy began when I embarked on individual psychotherapy during a challenging period in my life.

This personal experience was transformative and motivated me to make significant changes, ultimately leading me to pursue a Diploma and an MSc in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy (TA) to become a therapist myself.

As a Transactional Analyst (TA) trainee psychotherapist, my approach focuses on the present while also guiding clients to explore how their past may have influenced their perspectives.

My relational TA training underscores the importance of self-expression and the client-therapist relationship, which is built on trust, collaboration, and genuine listening.

I’m dedicated to providing a safe and confidential space for clients to explore their own stories without judgment. Together, we can identify the options that will empower you to progress in your future and enhance your physical and mental well-being.

While therapy isn’t always easy, it requires courage and commitment, and the potential rewards are life-changing and enduring.

I’m also a trainee therapist member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). Currently, I offer face-to-face sessions and can conduct initial consultations online.

My practice encompasses a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, trauma, and grief.

 

About me:
Before embarking on a career as a counselor, I earned a bachelor’s degree in Law and a master’s degree in Human Resource Management. My professional background includes experience in the recruitment and retail sectors.

As a dual Italian-British national who grew up in Italy and moved to the UK in 2014, I bring a multicultural perspective to my work. Speaking multiple languages has enriched my ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and develop a deeper understanding of diversity and inclusion.

I offer a free initial assessment session to provide an opportunity for us to meet and discuss how therapy can benefit you. It’s also a chance to ensure that you feel comfortable working with me.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you!”

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.
