Yasmine Sommers Psychotherapist London E8Yasmine Sommers:

Trainee Psychotherapist (MBACP Registered & UKCP student member)


Hi, my name is Yasmine Sommers, I am a registered member of BACP and a trainee UKCP psychotherapist working in the low-cost therapy service at HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston, and I am currently partway through my advanced post-grad diploma on the UKCP accreditation pathway at Regents University London.   

Every one of us may occasionally encounter moments that can have a disruptive impact on our lives, our sense of self, and how we experience ourselves in the world

You may have feelings of being overwhelmed, anxious, or suffer from low self-esteem or loneliness.

You may be going through difficulties in relationships, unable to understand your feelings, or just managing life, yet knowing you need something more.

Speaking in private with someone outside of your social circle of friends and family may help you to make sense of the thoughts, emotions, and circumstances that are causing you concern or grief.

It can give you the flexibility to see things from different perspectives and to feel more connected to your creativity and energy.

 

My Practice:
I am an integrative psychotherapist, which means I combine various therapeutic tools and approaches to serve the needs and goals of my clients and to help identify their core emotional difficulties. My approach is tailor-made for each client as I tune into their unique lived experience.

It all begins with sitting together in a private space and talking about whatever feelings and thoughts you wish to bring. I have helped clients who have experienced difficulties with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, feelings of hopelessness and loss, and relationship difficulties.

My practice is grounded in my commitment to creating a safe, confidential, secure, and non-judgemental environment where my clients can freely explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours at a pace that feels right for them.

Over time, a better understanding of the underlying motives and causes of your problem can lead to a greater sense of integration and control in your life and, importantly, to more authentic relationships with others.

Creating space for inner experience enables us to trust in our own inner guidance, promoting self-awareness and self-acceptance, allowing us to consider new perspectives and new ways of being. These are essential elements for growth and any transformative healing process.

I am a fully insured and paid-up member of MBACP And a trainee member of UKCP.

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.

Our practitioners deal with a wide range of therapy issues using different types of therapy modalities tailored to the types of clients we work with. 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.
