Tania Raymond Integrative Trauma Informed Therapeutic Counsellor LondonTania Raymond:

Integrative Trauma Informed Therapeutic Counsellor (BACP accred)


Hello, I’m Tania.

I’m a qualified, BACP-registered integrative and trauma-informed counsellor, offering in-person sessions at HQ Therapy in Haggerston.

I work with people experiencing emotional distress, trauma, and complex relational difficulties, alongside the impact of identity, race, culture, sexuality, and belonging. If this resonates with you, I offer a warm and reflective space where you can explore what you’re going through without judgement.

Often, what brings us to therapy is not only what is happening now, but deeper emotional patterns shaped by earlier experiences and relationships. You might notice yourself repeating familiar dynamics, reacting in ways you don’t fully understand, or feeling stuck between who you are and who you want to be.

Whether you’re facing a specific difficulty or sensing something isn’t quite right, therapy offers space to slow down, reflect, and begin understanding yourself with curiosity and compassion.

Starting therapy, particularly when speaking about things for the first time, can feel daunting. I hold this in mind, offering gentle support and helping ease the sense of isolation that often comes with coping alone.

How I work:
I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma (including childhood and sexual trauma), shame, family and relationship dynamics, and questions of identity, culture, sexuality, and belonging. I have experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds and remain attentive to culture, power, difference and lived experience, recognising how social context shapes emotional wellbeing.

As an integrative therapist, my work is relational, holistic, and grounded in genuine curiosity about you as a whole person. Our sessions are guided by what you bring, with an openness to what may sit beneath the surface.

At the heart of my work is a person-centred approach, focusing on empathy, acceptance, and a relationship where you feel seen, heard, and understood. I draw on psychodynamic thinking to make links between the past and the present. Humanistic principles support your capacity for growth, self-awareness, and agency.

In sessions, you can expect me to listen closely, reflect with you, ask thoughtful questions, and explore patterns together. Sometimes we may slow things down to notice what is happening in the moment; at other times, making connections across your experiences.

 

Trauma-informed therapy:
When working with trauma, I prioritise safety, stabilisation, and pacing. Trauma can live not only in memory but in the body and nervous system, and revisiting difficult experiences can sometimes feel overwhelming.

Where helpful, I integrate grounding, breathwork, and body-based awareness to support regulation and stability. We move gently and collaboratively, ensuring therapy remains a place where you feel held, resourced, and in control of the process.

 

What I can help with:

  • Building emotional resilience and understanding difficult feelings
  • Healing trauma
  • Understanding patterns shaped by earlier experiences
  • Creating healthy boundaries
  • Improving relationship dynamics
  • Exploring meaning, purpose, and personal growth

 

I offer open-ended and short-term therapy, online and in person. We will check in regularly to keep our work focused on what feels important to you.

Sessions are 50 minutes long. My fee is £75 per session, or £70 when booked monthly in advance.

You are welcome to arrange a free 20-minute consultation call, or Zoom, to talk about what you’re looking for from therapy, ask questions, and get a sense of how I work

Meaningful change often begins not with solutions, but with feeling understood and accepted.

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.
