Bianca Le Conte
The Therapy Hive
About Me:
Hi, I'm Bianca
I'm a Psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and founder of The Therapy Hive in Bow, East London. I create warm, judgment-free spaces where you can truly be yourself.
What Makes My Practice Different
I've had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life — each bringing their own unique story, challenges, and strengths. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, navigating relationships, facing work stress, exploring your identity, processing difficult experiences, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, I tailor therapy to fit you.
My practice welcomes everyone, with particular experience supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals, neurodivergent people, and those from diverse backgrounds.
The Therapy Hive is now open at Studio 1E, 5 Hancock Road, Bow, East London — a warm, purpose-built therapy space with the gentle presence of Bella, my Cavapoo therapy dog, who provides an extra layer of comfort for those who find animal-assisted therapy helpful.
Whether you choose online sessions or in-person appointments at The Therapy Hive, you'll find a collaborative approach that works with how your mind actually functions.
Your Journey, Your Way
I use different therapy approaches to create something that works specifically for you — combining supportive conversation with practical tools and a deeper understanding of patterns. Sometimes we might try creative exercises or body-based practices if they feel right for your healing. Whether you're working through trauma, managing daily anxiety, exploring who you are, or simply wanting a safe space to grow, I'm here to support you.
As well as 1-2-1 therapy in the space with Bella, I also offer Walk & Talk Therapy along the canals of East London — same confidential support and care, with the added benefit of fresh air, open water, and gentle movement. Sessions meet at Make it Bow and we walk out together. [See the routes and full details below.]

Experience and Qualifications
I trained at the University of East London, earning my BSc in Counselling with First Class Honours. Before that, I completed my foundational training through CPCAB and NCFE CACHE qualifications. I'm fully registered with BACP, insured, and hold enhanced DBS clearance.
I founded The Therapy Hive in 2026, a modern therapy collective in Bow designed to bring together skilled therapists in a welcoming, purpose-built space.
My experience spans diverse settings, from supporting disabled children and young adults to providing care in dementia settings. This breadth of work has shaped how I understand connection, community, and what people need to feel truly supported.
I recently collaborated with Happiful Magazine for Mental Health Awareness Week 2025, presenting "Finding Community in a Polarised Society" — a webinar exploring how we build meaningful connections in an increasingly divided world. These insights about community and belonging flow naturally into my therapeutic work, helping clients develop stronger social bonds and navigate conflict with more ease.

Something a little different
Walk & Talk Therapy
Step outside the room. Same confidential support, same care — just fresh air, open water, and a gentle pace along East London's canals.
Why walk and talk?
🌿 Nature supports healing Walking in green and blue spaces reduces cortisol, eases anxiety, and naturally opens conversation in ways a room sometimes can't.
🚶 Side-by-side feels different Walking together removes the pressure of direct eye contact, making it easier to speak about the things that are hardest to say.
🔒 Your confidentiality, protected Everything shared on our walks is held in the same confidence as anything said in the room. We have a simple, discreet system for privacy around others.
📍 Together from the start We always meet at Make it Bow and walk out together — you'll never need to find a spot alone or wait somewhere unfamiliar.
Our routes
All walks start and end at Make it Bow, Bow, East London.
50-minute sessions — £90
Route 1 — Bow Locks to Three Mills Green Quiet towpath heading north past the historic House Mill, opening out to waterside green space at the far end. Benches at the turning point. No road crossings.
Route 2 — Bow Locks to Cody Dock A calmer, gentler stretch heading south along the Lea, finishing at a quiet community garden with a small café. Good for quieter days.
Route 3 — Bow Locks along the Limehouse Cut Wide, straight and peaceful. Very little footfall, birdlife on the water, and a real sense of space away from the city.
90-minute sessions — £160
Route 4 — All the way to Hackney Wick The full experience — north past Three Mills, Old Ford Lock, and up to the edge of Fish Island and Hackney Wick. More distance, more time, more space to breathe. Please book in advance.
As well as walk and talk sessions, I offer 1-2-1 therapy in the space at Studio 1E, 5 Hancock Road, Bow — with the option of being joined by Bella, my Cavapoo therapy dog, for those who find animal-assisted therapy helpful.
£90 per 50-minute session · £160 per 90-minute session Online and in-person available. Reduced fees for students, NHS workers, and those on lower incomes.
Confidentiality and Professionalism
Your privacy matters. BACP-registered, fully insured, DBS checked - what you share stays private except for serious safety concerns.
We'll cover our simple therapy contract in session one. Clear boundaries, complete confidentiality.
Questions? Ask anytime. Your safety and trust come first.
No one-size-fits-all therapy here, I create an approach that's entirely yours.
We'll dig into what's happening and build practical tools that actually work in your daily life.
Anxiety, depression, relationships, identity, personal growth, whatever brings you here, you're welcome.
At The Therapy Hive in Bow, East London, my practice is inclusive, trauma-informed, and rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to be heard and understood.
Ready for a therapist who combines compassion with a bit of humour? Let's work together to help you become your most authentic, empowered self.

Types of Therapy and Benefits
1
Person-Centered Therapy
My person-centered approach creates a warm, judgment-free space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. I believe in your innate wisdom and capacity for growth. Together, we'll build a genuine, caring relationship where you can be your authentic self, leading your own journey of self-discovery at your pace. I'm here to support and celebrate your unique experiences and perspectives, helping you unlock your full potential.
2
Psychodynamic Therapy
In psychodynamic therapy, we explore how your past shapes your present. By examining childhood experiences and relationships, we uncover unconscious patterns affecting your life today. This self-discovery process helps you make intentional choices and build fulfilling relationships. Our therapeutic relationship provides a safe space for exploration, leading to deeper self-understanding and personal growth.
3
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you tackle negative thoughts and behaviours head-on. We'll identify unhelpful thought patterns, challenge them, and develop more balanced perspectives. You'll learn practical coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and depression. By changing both thoughts and actions, CBT empowers you to build resilience and take control of your well-being.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
I offer a warm, judgment-free space to explore your anxiety and relationship challenges. We'll uncover root causes, develop tailored coping strategies, and build practical skills. By blending various therapeutic approaches, we'll create a personalized plan that honours your unique experiences and cultural background. Together, we'll work towards greater self-awareness, improved communication, and more fulfilling relationships.

How Long will it take?
Making changes in your life takes time and hard work. There are no shortcuts to personal transformation. While you may find some quick wins from starting therapy, it will usually take commitment and repetition to make real and substantial change. At the beginning, it’s hard to know exactly how long the process will take. This is a topic you are welcome to bring up and talk about with your therapist. It doesn’t have to be a mystery.
Getting Started:
To begin, send me an email to schedule an initial session. This session will help us determine if we're a good match for working together. If we decide to proceed, we'll arrange weekly 50-minute sessions, online. Bi-weekly sessions are available upon request, though weekly sessions are recommended for consistent progress. I'm here to support your journey towards personal growth and well-being.
