Bianca Le Conte

Hi, I’m Bianca , pluralistic psychotherapist, and founder of The Therapy Hive Collective. I created a space where the lights stay low, the teas are proper, and therapy bends to fit you, not the other way around.

My approach

I tailor therapy specifically to you, drawing on a range of approaches - reflective conversation, practical tools, and deeper work with patterns and beliefs, rather than applying a single model. Sometimes I’ll incorporate creative or body-based practices when they feel helpful. Everything is led by what’s useful for you.

I work with adults and am neurodiversity-affirming and LGBTQIA+ affirmative, with particular experience working with neurodivergent people (ADHD, autism), LGBTQIA+ clients, and people from diverse cultural backgrounds.

The space

I believe the therapy space matters as much as what happens in it - so I’ve invested in making the Hive feel genuinely comfortable. Soft lighting (the big lights never go on), weighted blankets, floor cushions if you’d rather sit on the floor, a diffuser with scents you can choose or skip, and a heater for when it’s cold. Don’t want to sit face to face? We can sit side by side. The space bends to you.

Bella, my gentle hypoallergenic Cavapoo, may be present too - interaction with her is entirely optional. Please mention any allergies or concerns when you get in touch.

Oh, and I make herbal teas. Loose leaf, proper blends - real flower chamomile, dandelion root with honey. You’re looked after from the moment you arrive.

Online: Margate and beyond

Not in London? I offer online counselling wherever you are. For those who’ve swapped the city for a quieter life by the sea, I want that support to come with you. I’m opening a Therapy Hive space in Margate in 2027 - until then, out-of-London sessions are online. If you ever find yourself in the city, you’re always welcome to join me in person.

CPD

I’m committed to ongoing learning and attend regular Continuing Professional Development training. My CPD includes specialist training in neurodivergency and LGBTQ+ affirmative practice. I have a genuine passion for reading widely across psychology, therapy and wellness - the bookshelves at the Hive are a pretty good reflection of that - and a deep drive to keep learning, keep expanding my practice, and bring the best of what I find back into the room.

Not sure if we’re the right fit?

Book a free 20-minute introductory call - no commitment, just a chance to say hello. Use the link below; slots show as 50 minutes in the system, but we’ll only use the first 20. It’s also a handy way to see how the booking works if you decide to go ahead. Alternatively, you can book through the Counselling Directory introductory section at times outside my usual hours.

What I can help with

People rarely come to therapy with just one thing - and they shouldn’t have to. You might arrive thinking you want to talk about anxiety, and find yourself exploring a relationship, a pattern, a part of your history you hadn’t expected to meet. That’s not a detour. That’s the work. I’m happy to go wherever it needs to go, and I’ll follow your lead.

I have particular experience working with life transitions, chronic illness, neurodivergency, LGBTQIA+ identities and the many things that come with them - but I work with everything. Nothing is off the table.

Anxiety · Depression · Trauma · Relationship difficulties · Identity and self-esteem · Grief and loss · Life transitions · Work stress · Family dynamics · Chronic illness · Neurodivergence · LGBTQIA+ issues

£90 per 50-minute session (online or in-person)

£160 per 90 minute session. (online or in-person)

Tuesday 12–8:30pm | Wednesday 3–9pm | Thursday 1–8:30pm | Friday 11am–7pm. I offer either a regular weekly slot at the same time each week, or a flexible ad hoc arrangement where you can choose a different time each week to suit you.

I work from The Therapy Hive Collective in Bow - a collaborative creative workspace I founded. The studio is calm, private, and quiet, with soft lighting, blankets, floor cushions, and sound machines outside the door. You’ll never find the overhead lights on. It’s a space designed to feel settled and safe - comfortable chairs, a warm room, and no rush. Oh, and I make herbal teas. Loose leaf, proper blends - real flower chamomile, dandelion root with honey. You’re in good hands from the moment you arrive.

For your first session, I’ll come and meet you at the entrance and show you the way through - so you’re not navigating an unfamiliar building on your own.

My training is integrative - grounded in a First Class degree in Counselling and BACP registration, with deep expertise across person-centred, psychodynamic, CBT, and existential approaches. Rather than working from a single model, I draw on whichever combination serves you best. I’m a committed reader and a lifelong learner; the bookshelves in the Hive are a pretty good reflection of how seriously I take that. A love of psychology, health, and wellness runs through everything I do - and I bring all of it into the room.

My own lived experience informs everything about how I work. I’ve been in the trenches, and I’ll go there with you - held, boundaried, and steady. I bring both genuine understanding and the professional grounding to make that feel safe rather than overwhelming.

Sessions are 50 minutes. I operate a 24-hour cancellation policy and ask for payment within 24 hours of your session.

I’m committed to making therapy accessible and offer a small number of reduced-fee slots for those who need them - please get in touch to find out more.
