Reka Hutter

My training draws on a multiple therapeutic approaches, including humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), metacognitive therapy (MCT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and mindfulness. This integrative foundation allows me to tailor therapy to your unique needs and experiences. I have supported clients in various settings, including the third sector and a 12-step addiction recovery day programme. Currently, I work in an inpatient mental health ward at a Priory Hospital, supporting patients within a trauma-informed framework to improve their well-being and reconnect with their authentic selves. I work with patients one-to-one and facilitate groups on mindfulness and loss as part of this role.

So, how do we do this work?

Therapy can take many forms. Often, we talk. But sometimes, silence does the work. Emotions may surface; we might laugh or cry, feel anger, fear, joy, or love. I pay attention closely to what’s happening in the room, including what may lie just beyond awareness. Clients sometimes draw, keep journals, or share dreams. We might role-play, design rituals, plan personal challenges, or celebrate you. I bring experience in entering others’ inner worlds with wonder and empathy, while also asking difficult questions about your shadows.

I don’t have a magic wand to make things better, but I do commit to honesty, presence, and transparency. If your story or way of relating evokes thoughts or feelings in me, I’ll seek a respectful and sensitive way to share them with you.
