Nicol Batra Integrative Psychodynamic Psychotherapist London E8Nicol Batra:

Integrative Psychodynamic Psychotherapist (MBACP)


Hello and thank you in advance for reading this. I’m Nicol Batra, I see clients at the HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston, London E8.

I hold an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Humanistic Counselling and am an insured member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I am available to work with clients online and in person. I am available on Fridays, and weekday mornings and evenings (please see my working hours below).

My own journey as a client has been panoramic and transformational. I’m driven to pay this forward and help others as best I can.

I’m passionate about working psychotherapeutically with those in need, or those who want to explore and ideate from mind and spirit.

I work singularly and thoroughly, always seeking to be present, authentic, collaborative, and Zen.

I believe in a psychotherapy approach which is widescreen, celestial, and open to anyone who wants to explore themselves. Wholeness can be brought within reach incrementally.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating. Find the courage to dive in. My approach is centred on you and your desire to grow. Change is possible.

The best bouquets are made up of many different flowers. I work with a wide range of clients spanning the diversity of ethnicities, gender identities and sexual orientations amongst other dimensions. As a second-generation British Indian, I carry both Eastern and Western traditions in me.

We can work with whatever presents – feeling overwhelmed, depression, relationships, anger, grief and loss. Fear for the future, regrets about the past. I am keenly interested in sexuality, shame and truth.

I have begun to explore areas of specialism: addiction, eating disorders, working with suicide, trauma and anger management, as well as male identity issues.

I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to support others close to me through their questioning or indeed their crises. Those moments in life when it is vital to let light in. I bring to the therapy space: authenticity, truth, realness, relatability, respect and empathy.

You are a unique sentient being and yet your common humanity is powerful. This is central to the therapeutic relationship, and relationships generally – with self and with others.

I will always treat you, the client, with compassion – a human being to be respected and accepted as you are.

I have trained in multiple modalities. All of these weave together in my approach which is founded on the psychodynamic and the transpersonal.

Most valued of all is the therapeutic relationship. Healing comes from growth, growth from change, and change from trust.

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 fill out the form below in confidence, and one of our fully qualified referral therapists can work with you to make sure you connect with the right practitioner and receive the correct therapy and counselling services you require.

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.
