Lowenna Mariasol | Trainee Gestalt Psychotherapist

Lowenna Mariasol:

Trainee Gestalt Psychotherapist (UKCP student member)

My name is Lowenna Mariasol and I am a trainee Gestalt Psychotherapist at HQ Therapy. I am currently seeing clients online, offering both long-term and short-term therapy.

Life can be incredibly challenging and at times feel unmanageable. Support can help to see us through these challenging times and is a fundamental need for every human.

Whether you have had therapy before or are seeking therapy for the first time, I can provide a safe, confidential space for you to explore your feelings, thoughts and experiences. You may have a specific issue to work through or simply wish to deepen your self-awareness; Gestalt psychotherapy is flexible and founded in the belief that every person is unique and will therefore require a slightly different kind of support.

We will work collaboratively at a pace that feels right for you to discover what it is that you need, taking it session by session.

My approach is rooted in empathy, curiosity and at times challenge. We will pay attention to your physical process as well as your cognitive and emotional process, as our bodies provide clues to emotions and beliefs that lie out of our awareness.

We will talk, but we may also experiment with drawing, writing, music, objects or movement. Whatever you feel might support your journey of self-discovery.

The ultimate goal is to process unresolved feelings, situations and experiences and to increase your self-awareness, as with greater self-awareness comes greater opportunity for choice, growth and change.

Together we can discover how your past could be impacting your present; how some old coping strategies may be serving you and some may be hindering you.

I have experience working with a diverse range of clients from different backgrounds, genders, religions and sexual orientations, with a range of challenges including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, eating disorders, BPD, relationship issues, trauma, complex PTSD and neurodiversity.

Regardless of your challenges, therapy requires a willingness to be honest, open and vulnerable with another human. If you are reading this, you have already taken the first step.

I invite you to bring your full self to our work and I will meet you there, without judgment, but with compassion.

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.
