Daniel Blythin-Hammond | Trainee Humanistic Psychotherapist

Daniel Blythin-Hammond:

Trainee Humanistic Psychotherapist (UKCP student member)

Hi, I’m Daniel Blythin-Hammond.

I understand that opening up can be hard, I feel it is better to share a problem than to deal with it alone.

I offer a non-judgmental, safe, and confidential therapeutic space for you to explore feelings and issues as you work out what, if any, changes you would like to make in your life or your behaviour, helping you to find inner calm, clarity, and understanding.

In addition to providing emotional support, therapy can also be used to help you explore different perspectives and gain new insights into your experiences, providing an opportunity to reflect on your thoughts and feelings.

I can help you identify patterns and behaviours that may be contributing to difficulties you might have and we would work collaboratively to develop strategies for moving forward and making positive changes in your life.

You may have a specific problem you want to address in therapy or you may be less sure of what you need but just know you need to talk.

I will be supportive when needed and challenging where appropriate; I’m here and available for a professional and down-to-earth conversation about whatever it is that you need to explore.

I work with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, stress, anger, sexuality, self-esteem, confidence, loneliness, relationship problems and the search for meaning in life.

I believe effective therapy is grounded in good humanistic techniques; creativity, warmth, compassion, honesty and understanding. I bring compassionate understanding and mindful attention to all my work.

I am a trainee Humanistic psychotherapist studying for a Master’s degree in Humanistic Psychotherapy at Metanoia Institute. I am a fully insured and registered trainee member of UKCP.

I decided to train as a therapist after working many years in the helping professions supporting others; I currently work in social care and have experience in mental health care, education, and migrant rights.

I have a deeply felt desire to help people make meaningful change in their lives and I believe in the power of therapy in facilitating this change.

I am available for in-person sessions on Sundays between 7-10 pm at the low-cost therapy and counselling service, HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston, Hackney, London E8.

I look forward to meeting you.

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.
