Vidushi Gupta | Trainee Integrative Therapist

Vidushi Gupta:

Trainee Integrative Therapist (BACP student member)

Hello and Namaste! My name is Vidushi Gupta and I am a trainee integrative therapist offering low-cost therapy and counselling at HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston, Hackney, London E8.

I am currently working towards an Advanced Postgraduate Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling at CPPD Counselling School with the goal to obtain my accreditation with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Additionally, I am fully insured and a student member of the BACP.

I am a second-generation Indian woman, born and raised in New York. While I spent most of my working life in the financial sector, upon moving to London in 2018 and embarking on a huge life transition, I found myself yearning for a change, something that I could not yet grasp.

This desire invigorated me to start my own therapeutic journey towards self-awareness, purpose, transformation, and growth.

I learned and continue to learn that, to be human is to accept that one will be in a constant state of progress. And as it is not always easy or straightforward to manage life’s fluctuations on one’s own, my desire is to meet you where you are in the present, whatever your circumstances in an authentic, vulnerable, empathetic, and non-judgmental way.

As unique individuals, our life experiences significantly impact our way of thinking and behaving, and ultimately our mental health and how we engage with the world and see ourselves.

Thus, my goal is to create a safe and confidential space where you feel seen, heard, understood, supported, and worthy; and develop a collaborative relationship that fosters connection, trust, and compassion to help you take a proactive role in your mental well-being.

My integrative training allows me to draw from a range of counselling theories and practices, which include, but are not limited to:

I engage with all of the above in a relational capacity and will employ, modify, and adapt my approach(es) depending on your individual needs and situation throughout our therapeutic relationship.

Additionally, I work with people of all ages, backgrounds and walks of life and believe it is critical to conduct therapeutic sessions in a culturally-sensitive manner. Further, I have started exploring areas of specialization such as multicultural counselling, the immigrant experience, addiction, and trauma.

I understand that beginning therapy can feel intimidating or overwhelming, but I want to reassure you that there is no definite timeframe for healing and I am here to hold space for you, help you carry the things that feel heavy, and walk alongside you, gently and deliberately on your journey towards change, growth and discovery (or rediscovery) of your true self.

I am currently conducting face-to-face sessions on Saturday afternoons from 1 pm-4 pm at HQ Haggerston, but am available for online sessions by appointment on other days as well. I look forward to working with 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.
