About us

Finding your way forward.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, low, stuck or disconnected? Perhaps you’re struggling with relationships, work, identity or difficult experiences and aren’t sure where to turn. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

I’m Natasha, a qualified Integrative, Trauma-informed Therapeutic Counsellor and Therapist, supporting adults and young people aged 16+ in a safe, warm and non-judgmental space. I work collaboratively with you, helping you understand what you’re experiencing, build resilience and find a way forward at your own pace.

I support a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, trauma, grief, relationships, low self-esteem, OCD, life changes, feeling stuck, identity, neurodivergence, cultural and racial identity, personal growth and financial wellbeing.

My approach is tailored to you, drawing on Person-Centred Therapy, CBT, Transactional Analysis, Psychodynamic and Solution-Focused Therapy, alongside Coaching and Creative therapy. Offered both In-Person and Online.

I value individuality, diversity and inclusivity, and believe therapy should be accessible to everyone. Whether you’re looking for clarity, support or simply somewhere to be heard, I’m here to help.

I believe therapy is a collaborative journey. You remain in control of where you want to go, I’m here to help you understand yourself, develop healthier ways of coping, build confidence and find a sense of direction.

My approach is professional yet relaxed, with empathy, warmth and acceptance at its heart. I value individuality, diversity and inclusivity, and want therapy to feel accessible to everyone including those who may not have previously felt that therapy was for them. I am Bilingual speaking and can offer therapy in both English and Punjabi.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Sometimes, simply having a safe space to talk and feel heard can be the first step towards feeling lighter, clearer and more connected.

Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Member organisations *

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

We have verified that at least one professional at this organisation is registered with the relevant professional body.

When we work

Please get in touch to discuss what your availability is, either through the Counselling Directory or by using the Contact form on my website or by calling directly. I will be happy to discuss your needs further with you.

Further information

I use an Integrative approach which means I will draw upon a range of techniques including Person Centered Therapy, Psychodynamic and Transactional Analyses approaches as well as Solution Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to tailor the best approach for your needs. In our first session together we will explore what brought you to counselling and decide the most appropriate way to help you make the changes you want and will periodically review this progress.

I mainly work with clients that include young people from the ages of 16 years plus and all Adults, who may be struggling with a variety of issues and concerns ranging from general mental health and day to day life such as; race and racial identity, relationships, self esteem, abuse, reoccurring unhelpful thoughts, trauma, neuro diverse conditions, grief, finding purpose amongst a whole range of other areas. In the first session we delve into what the issues are and look into what you would like to explore further and create a plan together to work on these.

Clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms over a course of sessions when they regularly attend.
