Emma Dodd Trainee Gestalt Psychotherapist Hackney London E8Emma Dodd:

Trainee Gestalt Psychotherapist (UKCP student member)

Hi, my name is Emma Dodd. I am a trainee psychotherapist working face-to-face and online at HQ Therapy Rooms, offering weekly low-cost therapy in Dalston and Haggerston, to short-term and/or long-term clients.

I am shortly to commence my third year on the MSc in Gestalt Psychotherapy course at the Metanoia Institute, a reputable training organisation. The training is rigorous but highly rewarding.

I find human beings endlessly fascinating and I am enjoying deepening my knowledge of the human psyche through my study. I am passionate about helping others find ways to move through difficult life experiences and challenges.

I practice a humanistic psychotherapeutic approach, meaning that my focus is on your experience, and where I will help you to make meaning of the way that you feel. My approach is grounded in empathy, kindness and active listening, and I strive to create a safe and trusting environment where you can feel safe to explore any issues without judgement.

I believe that every individual is unique and that we all have access to our own innate wisdom. My goal is to support you to reconnect with yourself so that you can uncover your true authentic self and live a life of integrity.

Increasing self-awareness of one’s own patterns can be extremely powerful in terms of helping you to make conscious choices in your life from a place of empowerment.

I believe therapy to be a collaborative process where I can support you in resolving issues in your life so that you can thrive and live to your full potential. I will be led by you and will adapt my approach to suit your needs and goals.

Throughout my time as a trainee therapist, I have seen clients of different genders, races and cultures and have worked with a number of issues such as anxiety and depression, PTSD, sexual trauma, suicidal ideation, immigrant issues and relationship/marital challenges.

Commencing therapy can be daunting and I aim to put my clients at ease through a calm and empathetic approach.

I am a student member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), adhering to their ethical guidelines.

I look forward to meeting with 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.

Our practitioners deal with a wide range of therapy issues using different types of therapy modalities tailored to the types of clients we work with. We also cater for people who are beset with financial difficulties, offering them services ranging from low-cost therapy and reduced-rate therapy to working with seasoned, qualified and accredited talking therapists.
