Kate Loosmore Integrative Psychotherapist London E8Kate Loosmore:

Integrative Psychotherapist (BACP)


My name is Kate Loosmore, and I’m a qualified psychotherapist accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I have an MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling, gained after three years in training and two years working in private practice. I work one-to-one with individuals in person and online.

If you are feeling isolated, lost, burnt out, or anxious, I can help. Perhaps you feel stuck repeating cycles that you’d like to escape, having the same arguments, and ending up in the same situations.

Maybe you compare yourself to those around you and find yourself lacking somehow.

We will explore the problems you are facing together, at a pace you are comfortable with. This is a place to be creative and curious.

My style is warm and empathetic and I work with clients collaboratively, as equal partners in an alliance.

I understand that coming to therapy may seem daunting, and it might feel like you don’t know where to begin. I will do all I can to put you at ease and create a supportive, reflective space in which you feel safe.

My priority is the relationship we will build, as this creates the perfect arena for challenging old patterns and starting something new. This is a place to say exactly how you are feeling, without fear of judgement or rejection.

 

How I work:
You may have heard of therapeutic modalities like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and psychoanalysis, as well as existential and humanistic psychotherapies. You might have experienced these styles of therapy in the past.

Something these different approaches have in common is the idea that we can often internalize scripts about others and ourselves that stand in the way of true connection.

My approach is integrative, meaning that I have training in each of these ways of working but adapt to provide a therapy that changes with you and looks deeply at how your past experiences shape your present, but also about your identity more widely, what you value and find meaningful.

My focus will always be on understanding you as fully as I can.

I have experience working with a variety of challenges, including:

My particular interests are in concerns of identity and intersectionality.

 

What to expect:
Sessions last 50 minutes and can be online or in person. I charge £70 per session.

We can begin with an initial assessment session that will let us find out more about one another and help decide whether I am the right therapist for you.

If you have any questions before booking a session please contact me below, we can arrange a fifteen-minute call for free.

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.
