Yujia Zhang Humanistic Integrative Counsellor hackney London E8Yujia Zhang:

Trainee Humanistic Integrative Counsellor (BACP student member)

Hello, my name is Yujia Zhang. I am a trainee counsellor working in the low-cost therapy and counselling service at HQ Therapy Rooms.

I hold a master’s degree in Psychology and am currently studying for a Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling at CPPD School of Counselling. My academic background has provided me with a deep understanding of the psychological and social factors influencing mental health and well-being, which I integrate into my therapeutic work. I am also a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and abide by the BACP Ethical Framework.

Having grown up in China and now living and working in the UK, I bring a cross-cultural perspective to my practice. This experience has shaped my understanding of how cultural and personal transitions influence our sense of identity, relationships, and emotional well-being.

Life can feel overwhelming or isolating at times, and it’s not always easy to navigate these challenges alone. Therapy offers a unique opportunity to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a supportive and confidential environment. My goal is to create a warm, empathic, and non-judgemental space where you feel comfortable sharing openly and beginning to make sense of the difficulties you face.

I understand that starting therapy can feel daunting, especially if it’s your first time. My approach is to meet you where you are, working together to build a relationship based on trust and understanding. I believe the therapeutic relationship is key to meaningful change, and I aim to tailor the process to your individual needs and goals.

As a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor, I draw on evidence-based approaches, including person-centred therapy, Gestalt therapy, and Transactional Analysis (TA). This integrative approach allows me to adapt therapy to what works best for you, offering a flexible and personalised experience.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or a sense of being stuck in life, I am here to support you on your journey towards greater self-awareness, resilience, and well-being.

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.
