Charles Grant Counsellor London E8Charles Grant:

Trainee Counsellor (BACP student member)


Welcome. My name is Charles Grant. I am a trainee counsellor studying for a counselling diploma in London, and I am offering low-cost counselling at the HQ Therapy rooms in Haggerston.

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and follow their Ethical Framework.

My priority is to create a safe, confidential, welcoming and warm space for you, whoever you are, whatever circumstances, and background you bring.

My role is to be a trustworthy companion on your journey.

Life is not easy, and asking for help isn’t easy either, it is a brave move to make.

Everything that you bring will be welcome, whatever the difficulties. For example stress, trauma, feelings of exclusion, and a need to explore identity.

We all belong.

I am training in Humanistic Integrative counselling, my emphasis is Person Centred. The Humanistic approach takes a holistic view focusing on human potential and self-discovery.

The Person Centred approach takes the view that you already have resources within that need the right conditions to grow and become resilient. Bringing more of yourself into your life.

Kindness and a mindful presence are guidelines we will rely on. There is a journey to be made from our past to our present, and using gentle mindfulness and awareness in the present moment can facilitate this.

I also have some experience in working with bereavement and loss.

I am currently conducting face-to-face sessions with my clients.

Hope to see you soon.

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.
