Angel Ogden:

Trainee Integrative Humanistic Counsellor (BACP student member)

Hello! My name is Angel Ogden; I am training as a humanistic counsellor, offering low-cost Therapy at HQ Therapy London Rooms in Haggerston, Hackney, London.

I am developing my skills by undertaking a BSC in Humanistic Therapy, and a three-year degree at Metanoia institute. My approach to Therapy is informed by three types of modalities, Person-centred, Transactional analysis (TA), and Gestalt.

As a student member of the BACP and adhering to their ethical framework, I aim to become an accredited counsellor for the British association of counselling and psychotherapy (BACP).

I am currently fully insured and prepared for my first clients.

About Me:
I currently work in a helping role with clients from all walks of life. I have experience supporting complex needs, particularly with anxiety, PTSD, low self-esteem, domestic violence, and trauma.

The help I offer varies and has inspired me to dedicate time to clients to hear and understand their needs truly.

My choice to study Humanistic Therapy is where I have discovered the connections and vital commonalities that can be experienced in the therapeutic space. In addition, the Humanistic approach sheds light on the meaning of human care, committing time and empathy better to understand people’s emotional and psychological well-being.

I also have worked in the LGBTQ+ community, working within various charities to address different needs faced by the community and the individual. In addition, I have attended training in the complexities of domestic violence, sexual violence/crime and abuse and further training to support young adults (18+).

For six years, I have undertaken a volunteer supervisor role for the charity; Foodbank; I offer various services and am aware of homelessness and financial concerns facing some today. Much of my experience supports my inspiration to provide dedicated Therapy to all.

My Qualifications:
Current – BSc Humanistic counselling degree

Level 2 counselling skills BCAP.

Blue light champion mental health spot.

Trauma Impact prevention technique training.

“We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity.” – Max de Pree.

How I work:
My door is open to all, no matter your personal or collective identity; I am committed to the values of multiculturalism and intersectionality. Our space will open you to share and explore the areas in your life that you may struggle with or find challenging to manage.

I will walk with you through those difficulties in an empathetic and non-judgemental way where we can discover and explore your experiences, feelings, and emotions together.

We will identify patterns, habits and behaviours and develop strategies and techniques to help you in your day-to-day life.

My humanistic theory allows me to work with three modalities, giving me access to different approaches which can be best suited and adaptive to you. All the work we do will be confidential and client-led, which means led by you, ensuring the pace is right and our therapeutic relationship is growing.

So let us start this journey together; the space is open for you.
