Tayou Chiu Integrative Psychotherapist hackney London E8Tayou Chiu:

Integrative Psychotherapist (BACP)

Hello, I am Tayou Chiu. As a BACP registered integrative psychotherapist, I adhere to its Ethical Framework. I currently see clients in person at the HQ Therapy Haggerston practice.

Life is full of abundant experiences, including its ups and downs. You may find yourself trapped in repetitive patterns, unsure of how to break free, or you might feel that something isn’t quite right, but can’t quite articulate it.

Deciding to seek support is a significant step, whether you are tired of struggling, merely managing life, or aspiring for more.

Experience:
With four years of experience in adult mental health across diverse backgrounds, I specialise in issues related to anxiety, low self-esteem, identity, sexuality, and trauma. I am also a proud ally of the LGBTQ+ community.

Qualifications:
I hold a postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counselling and I’m currently completing my MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy at the Metanoia Institute in London.

My Approach:
My practice offers a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where I am genuinely curious about how your life experiences have shaped who you are today. I aim to work relationally to help you understand your connections with yourself and others.

My integrative approach draws from various theories, including person-centred, psychodynamic, and Jungian frameworks, and is tailored to meet each client’s unique needs. I strive to foster personal growth and psychological wholeness within a supportive and empathetic environment, ensuring you feel understood and connected to your true self.

The Initial Session:
If you’re interested in exploring therapy with me, please email me to discuss any logistical or practical questions. We can also set up a complimentary 15-minute phone call if that’s easier for you.

If it feels right, we’ll schedule an initial meeting to discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and ensure I am the right therapist for you. This meeting, as well as any future sessions, will last 50 minutes.

Fees and Availability:
Should you choose to continue, we will meet weekly for 50-minute sessions at a mutually agreed-upon time. My fees range from £50 to £80, based on your income.

I offer face-to-face sessions at HQ Therapy Haggerston on Monday evenings and Talking Health Monument on Wednesday evenings.

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.
