Willow Cavendish Psychotherapist London E8Willow Cavendish:

Trainee Psychotherapist (UKCP student member)


My name is Willow Cavendish, I am a trainee psychotherapist working online for the low-cost therapy and counselling service at HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston and Dalston, Hackney, London E8. I offer weekly one-to-one online sessions with adults.

I’m currently training for an MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling at Regent’s University London. I am also a student member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and adhere to its guidelines.

I understand that life can be challenging and the decision to seek therapy can feel like a daunting task. Sometimes the world can seem like a very difficult place and the decision to talk to someone other than friends or family can be hard.

You may have experienced a traumatic event, suffered the loss of a loved one or just have a sense that something isn’t right.

Having gone through therapy myself, I have experienced first-hand just how important a genuine and trusting relationship is between an individual and their therapist.

My goal is to work with you to navigate and manage the life situations that have brought you here, working at a pace that you feel comfortable with.

My primary task is to help you develop a greater understanding of yourself, your emotions and your behaviour. I will work collaboratively with you to identify the root cause of your concern and explore the difficulties you are facing in a safe and non-judgemental space.

My aim is to create a supportive, compassionate and understanding environment where you feel heard and validated. I want to empower you to cultivate a sense of resilience and well-being that extends beyond the therapy room.

Working together, we can find ways to untangle any blocks you may have and work towards the growth you want to achieve.

I work integratively, meaning that I draw from a wide range of theories and techniques from psychodynamic therapy to humanistic. This is because I believe that there is no single approach that works for everyone and I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual.

I can help with a range of short and long-term issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, suicide, bereavement and low self-esteem.

My interest in therapy comes from a profound interest in people. I care about what happens to people and want to understand what it feels like to be them. Aside from my therapy training, I am currently on the board of CS Disabled Holidays. A charity which provides support and assistance to people living with long-term disabilities.

If you feel that I would be the right fit for you, please do not hesitate to get in touch and 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?

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.

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.
