Elia Ciucurita Integrative Art Psychotherapist London E8Elia Ciucurita:

Integrative Arts Psychotherapist (HCPC, BACP)

Hi, I’m Elia Ciucurita, an art psychotherapist offering sessions as part of the reduced-rate service at HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston, Hackney, London E8.

I believe that therapy should be a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and accepted.

My approach is gentle, supportive, and adaptable—meeting you where you are and working at a pace that feels right for you. I hold a Master’s Degree in Integrative Art Psychotherapy and am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and The Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

Art therapy is a powerful way to explore thoughts and feelings that might be difficult to express with words alone. You don’t need to be an artist—just open to the process. Through creativity, we can reconnect with lost or neglected parts of ourselves, uncover inner strengths, and make sense of life’s challenges.

At the heart of my work is a relational approach to therapy, which means I believe healing happens through relationships—both with ourselves and with others. Many of our struggles stem from early relational patterns, and therapy offers a chance to explore these dynamics in a safe, supportive space.

By building a trusting therapeutic relationship, we can work through past wounds, develop healthier ways of relating, and create meaningful change in how you connect with yourself and those around you.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in hospitality and childcare, and I’ve also supported young people with autism and learning difficulties in school settings. These experiences taught me the importance of warmth, patience, and flexibility—qualities I bring into my therapy practice.

I have a deep interest in working with people facing family conflicts, relationship breakdowns, cultural transitions, and struggles with addiction. If you’re feeling lost, overwhelmed, or stuck, I’m here to help you navigate those feelings in a way that feels safe and empowering.

I offer therapy in English and Romanian and primarily work face-to-face, though online sessions are available when needed.

If you’re looking for a space to reflect, heal, and reconnect with yourself, I’d love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out—let’s explore together.

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.
