Lorraine Butler Integrative Therapist Highbury London N5Lorraine Butler:

Integrative Therapist (MBACP)

My name is Lorraine Butler, and I am a registered BACP Integrative Therapist based at HQ Therapy Rooms in Highbury Fields, London, N5, close to Highbury & Islington tube station.

Therapy sessions can be a space to reflect on how your past experiences may be impacting your current relationships and sense of self and a space to work on how to change something for the future.

Not feeling ‘quite ourselves’ in life often presents in anxiety, low mood, depression, keeping trauma with us and feeling as though we are coping rather than living fully.

Change is always present in our lives, and I aim to work with you on the direction of this change.

My aim is to provide a safe, confidential space to explore emotions, gain insights, and develop new ways of thinking, responding and feeling that can lead to personal growth and a more fulfilling life.

Whether you’re dealing with a specific issue or looking to improve overall well-being, therapy can offer valuable tools for change and healing.

Being able to reconnect with and trust your authentic self is a process that is different for everyone and I approach all clients with warmth, empathy and trust in your experience.

I work with a range of evidence-based therapeutic models, including the psychodynamic approach, person-centred theory and cognitive behavioural techniques.

Understanding past experiences, attachment style and how we relate to others can enable us to uncover the root causes of your challenges, build coping strategies, and empower you to live a more fulfilling and contented life.

 

Getting Started:
I offer a free 25-minute telephone or Zoom consultation with potential clients to understand where you would like to focus and if how I work will be the right approach for you.

If you would like to book a session, then we’ll agree on a weekly time and place to meet, either online or at HQ Therapy. Sessions are 50 minutes and cost £65.

I offer a limited number of concessionary sessions, there is currently a waiting list for these spaces.

I currently work in-person and online on Wednesday afternoons and evenings at HQ Therapy in Highbury Fields and online on Tuesday evenings and Wednesday and Thursday mornings.

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.
