Rhys Dawney Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor Hackney London E8Rhys Vine:

Trainee Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor (BACP student member)


My name is Rhys Vine. I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist trainee. I currently see clients at the low-cost counselling and psychotherapy service at HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston and Dalston, London.

I work with adult clients on an individual basis. I have face-to-face sessions available, as well as online.

I have completed my Foundation degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling and now have moved on to the second year of my Masters Degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling at Regents University London. I am also a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Although my training has been across many modalities of therapy, I tend to lean towards a more person-centred and humanistic approach to therapy and believe that a strong bond between client and therapist is essential for great therapeutic work to be done.

Establishing a relationship is based on trust, honesty and connectivity with one another and helping to create an environment where the client feels seen, heard and understood giving them the confidence to open up within the therapy room.

I feel like I bring a unique skill set that lends itself well to psychotherapy and counselling from my experience as a Company Director and creative mentor to my studies at Regents, both on my foundation course and current master’s degree.

I am an attentive, empathic listener with a naturally inquisitive and nurturing personality who can confidently apply psychological theory to practice with a wide range of clients. My aim as a therapist is to help facilitate an environment by which emotional growth can take place as well as potential healing and the meeting of goals set between the client and myself.

I am able to apply active listening techniques to understand my client’s emotions and concerns and establish a real and human connection as well as communicate ideas in an easy and digestible way to get through to clients on a relatable level.

I can think outside the box to analyse complex psychological issues and encourage clients to open up to new ways of thinking to help overcome their issues.

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.
