William Troughton | Trainee Humanistic Integrative Therapist

William Troughton:

Trainee Humanistic Integrative Therapist (BACP student member)

My name is William Troughton and I am a trainee Humanistic Integrative therapist.

People come to therapy for many reasons. As a therapist, my aim is to create a space in which all things can be discussed in a safe and inclusive way.

The core of my therapy is based around the positive, trusting relationship we will build throughout our time together. Ultimately, I believe that you are the expert on yourself; my job is to join you on your journey as you discover more about yourself.

As I am learning an integrative model, I will tailor my style of working depending on your needs, crafting our sessions based on how you like to work.

I very much believe this is your time and your space, and whether you work better with goal setting or you just need some space to figure things out, I aim to provide this for you.

Throughout my time as a therapist, I have seen clients of differing genders, races, cultures and religions, presenting with a wide spectrum of issues including depression, anxiety, PTSD, suicidal ideation, marital and relationship challenges, immigrant experiences, complex grief, and parental and familial issues.

Alongside this, I have worked in the performance and the arts for nearly two decades giving me great interpersonal skills and an understanding of performance-based industries and the stresses that come with it.

Also, I have worked extensively in schools both mainstream and SEN giving me valuable insight into children and their development, and also the challenges parents might face.

Making the choice to engage in therapy is one of the most courageous decisions someone can make. I will be here to join you in your journey to self-discovery.

I am currently enrolled in my final year of training at CPPD, an extremely well-respected counselling school in North London, which is BACP registered. The modalities that are primarily taught and the ones I will draw on when working are: Person Centred, Transactional Analysis (TA), Gestalt, Psychodynamic and CBT.

I am available for sessions on Saturday mornings between 7-10am or online sessions upon request.

I look 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?

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.
