Where Listening Equals Conversation

Music-led counselling in Walthamstow, East London. Bring your music. Start a conversation. Find your way forward.

Welcome

Considering therapy but worried it might be a bit awkward?

That’s exactly where The Listening Booth comes in. This is therapy - but it starts with music. Your music. Conversations, even the difficult ones, often start more naturally when we’re focusing on something else.

At The Listening Booth, it’s simple; bring along an album, a playlist, or even just one song. We’ll listen to it together and see what conversations arise. There’s no pressure, no script - just music and an experienced therapist ready to listen when you’re ready to talk.

Based in Walthamstow, East London, The Listening Booth offers a different way into counselling - one that meets you where you are, not where therapy textbooks say you should be.

How It Works

Individual, Music-led therapy for adults

The Listening Booth is not music therapy in the clinical sense. It’s individual counselling that uses the music you choose as a way to ease into the therapeutic process. You decide what we listen to and where the conversation goes.

Choose Your Music

Bring an album, playlist, or a single song. It could be something meaningful, nostalgic, or something you simply enjoy.

Listen Together

We sit and listen together. Just one song might bring up feelings, memories, or thoughts you’ve been carrying.

Let Conversation Flow

From the music, we move into conversation — about whatever comes up. We can keep listening or focus on what matters to you.

You can listen to the same music every session or change it each time. It’s your Listening Booth. Sessions are run by myself, Remy Felix Vas; I'm a qualified, experienced, and BACP Accredited therapist.

How Can It Help

Counselling for anxiety, depression, and whatever life has or is throwing at you

You might be feeling anxious or depressed. You may have experienced loss - a person, a partner, a job. These aren’t always easy things to talk about with anyone. Or maybe it’s been a long time since you listened to a particular album or song and you’d like someone there as you experience it again.

As an experienced therapist, I have worked with clients from many different backgrounds across a wide range of issues:

Depression

Anxiety

Self & Self-Image

Life Transitions

Career Concerns

Bereavement

Self-Harm

Suicidal Thoughts

Stress & Burnout

Whatever you’re going through, please get in touch for a free phone consultation to see if The Listening Booth is right for you.

About Me

Remy Felix Vas — BACP Accredited Therapist at The Listening Booth, Walthamstow

Hi, I'm Remy Felix Vas. I'm a qualified, experienced and BACP Accredited Therapist

I love music and I love my work as a therapist so what better combination than the two? Prior to becoming a therapist I was a professional music composer, producer and performer. I set up The Listening Booth after realising that sometimes clients can find the process of therapy difficult to get started and that therapy can happen when we're not thinking about therapy

As a BACP Accredited Therapist, it means I have demonstrated a minimum level of client experience (currently 4 years) and my practice meets their higher standards. I have professional indemnity insurance and I receive regular clinical supervision to ensure safe and effective practice. I also hold an enhanced DBS check

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about The Listening Booth

What is The Listening Booth?

The Listening Booth is a unique counselling service in Walthamstow, East London, where therapy begins with music. You bring an album, playlist, or song and I will listen alongside you, using the music as a natural springboard into whatever you want and need to talk about.

Is this the same as music therapy?

No. The Listening Booth is individual face-to-face counselling that uses the music you choose as a way to ease into conversation naturally. It’s not clinical music therapy — think of it more as using something you love as a bridge into talking about what matters.

Where are sessions held?

Sessions take place at 185a Hoe Street, Walthamstow, London E17 3AP — less than five minutes’ walk from Walthamstow Central Tube station on the Victoria and Overground lines.

Do I need to know a lot about music?

Not at all. You just need to bring something you’d like to listen to — whether it’s a favourite song, an old album that means something to you, or a playlist you’ve been enjoying. There’s no right or wrong choice.

How do I book a session?

You can reach out by email at hello@listeningbooth.co.uk or by phone at 07305 999609. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so you can ask any questions before committing.
