Felicity Brook Person-Centred Psychotherapist London E8Felicity Brook:

Trainee Person-Centred Psychotherapist (UKCP Student Member)

My name is Felicity Brook and I’m a trainee person-centred psychotherapist working at the low-cost therapy and counselling service at HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston, Hackney, London E8.

Starting therapy can be daunting. Whether it has been something you have been contemplating for a while, or a recent decision, taking the first step can feel like a huge leap.

My own personal therapy has been invaluable in shaping my understanding of the unique relationship between therapist and client. I have been immensely lucky to have a therapist who has shown me deep and enduring empathy and what it means to be truly listened to without judgment.

As a person-centred psychotherapist, I believe you are the expert of your experience. It is hoped that if the therapy room is an accepting space, you will be able to explore whatever is causing you distress in your life.

I will do my best to meet you with a personal openness and a commitment to understanding your experiences with empathy.

The therapeutic relationship is at the heart of the person-centred approach. I value my client’s autonomy and individuality; we will build that relationship together. Some clients are looking for just a few sessions; others hope to work with a therapist long-term. It is entirely your decision.

Before retraining as a psychotherapist, I spent 9 years as an English teacher in Hong Kong. I certainly learned as much from my teenage students as they did from me. In my current professional role, I provide support and advocacy for young people who have experienced domestic abuse or gender-based violence.

In both these roles I developed a commitment to trauma-informed practice, which I continue to hold in all my therapeutic work.

I’m currently studying Person-centred Psychotherapy at the Metanoia Institute. As a student member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), I adhere to their ethical guidelines and stand by their purpose, which is to facilitate personal transformation through unlocking potential.

I am available on Sunday evenings from 7pm-10pm and work with clients face-to-face. I look forward to meeting you and working 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. 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.
