Ozge Bayar | Trainee Integrative Therapist

Ozge Bayar:

Trainee Integrative Therapist (BACP student member)

Hi, my name is Ozge Bayar, and I am a trainee integrative therapist working in low-cost therapy and counselling at HQ Therapy Rooms. I am working towards my Diploma in Integrative Humanistic Counselling at CPPD Counselling School.

I am an insured student member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), working within the BACP ethical framework. I have also completed Online and Phone Therapy and Eating Disorders training in line with my ongoing training.

For all of us, therapy is a process, and I believe every person’s therapy and journey differ. Having gone through the therapy process myself, I know and can relate to how hard it can be at the beginning, especially the first step.

However, I should also add that I have seen and experienced how effective the therapy can be in one’s life.

While working, the space belongs to you, and I prioritise to utilise and always provide the right conditions: a safe, supportive, empathetic, confidential, and non-judgmental space for you to feel comfortable talking, exploring, and expressing your thoughts and feelings to gain insights and understand what is causing you difficulties, distress and the impact this may be having on your own sense of wellbeing and with your relationships, with this understanding you can make your own choices to create a more fulfilling life.

To utilise this, I always pay special attention to building and having a strong working therapeutic relationship with you, always providing respect, empathy, authenticity and honesty so you can safely share and explore your difficulties and distress. We will always work within the right pace that is right for you.

In my sessions, I feel more equipped by being able to draw different approaches/theories to understand and support you with the issues you may be feeling, whether these issues are from your past or now, to help and support you in your journey, growth or to make more meaningful choices in life.

I have experience working with diverse people from different backgrounds, presenting a wide range of issues, but for me, everybody’s presenting problem is always unique and individual.

I am currently available to work with clients online, and I am happy to do short-term or long-term work.

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.
