Diane Vincent | Trainee Integrative Therapist

Diane Vincent:

Trainee Integrative Therapist (BACP Student Member)

My name is Diane Vincent, I am a trainee Humanistic Integrative Counsellor working in the low-cost therapy and counselling service at HQ Therapy Rooms in Dalston, Hackney, London E8.

I am currently a student member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) working towards an Advanced Postgraduate Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling at CPPD Counselling School.

As an integrative practitioner, I draw upon different psychological schools of thought and I am able to use techniques from diverse therapeutic approaches to suit your needs. I currently have the most experience practising Humanistic and Psychodynamic approaches. I also have an interest in Existential therapy and Psychedelic Integration.

In my practice, I strive to establish a secure, non-judgmental space where empathy and compassion are paramount to addressing your concerns.

I encourage authenticity and aim for you to feel supported and understood throughout our sessions. In our initial meetings, we will explore aspects of your life you wish to delve into. I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is really important and helps with productivity whilst supporting your growth and well-being.

I have experience working with individuals from a range of ethnicities, religions, genders, and sexual orientations, addressing a wide array of topics such as anxiety, depression, stress, sexuality, relationship challenges, trauma, low self-esteem, gender identity, and loss.

My counselling sessions last 50 minutes, and currently, I am available for face-to-face counselling.

If you are interested in working together, feel free to reach out for a 15-minute consultation session. 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. 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.
